CHISELED FACE TI RAZOR

Great looking razor! Love the Herringbone handle.

Arrived in perfect condition. I ordered mine with the #2 handle. I am a knurling enthusiast and even with the polish I find the grip comfortable and safe.  Presentation is outstanding and features a big, heavy, milled case lined with hide. The lather channels are the biggest of any razor Ive ever owned. The only one which might compare is the webbed Carbon baseplate.  Shave report coming by the afternoon. 

Got mine this morning. I agree the aluminum case is outstanding and very well made. My razor was ordered with the #3 Imperial handle and according to Ron the razor is #27. The polish finish is beautiful and the grip feels wonderful. First shave tomorrow morning.

The head looks very similar to the Paradigm Diamondback.

First shave follow up. As the earlier post said, you must ride the cap. This is not so much preference advice as it is a cutting requirement. Riding the safety bar will not cut hair. a standard 30 deg angle wont do much either. I had a 3 pass, irritation free shave which lead to a DFS+ shave. I attribute the subpar results to my lack of experience with this unique head geometry. Ill give it a shot again tomorrow, but If I'm being honest I have a Sailor, ti vector, ti carbon++, and a custom 1.20 gap wolfman all simultaneously on their way to me within a month. I will likely not keep this razor If I cant improve my technique to get good results.

Sounds like it may be too mild for me. Good to know and looking forward to hearing more insight on the shave of this one.

It’s excellent once you find the angle. I am hopeful I can get it burned to muscle memory in a short time before I get distracted by my recent purchases. 

I couldn't wait until the morning so I did a one pass shave using an Astra Superior Platinum blade and Tabac Original. As advertised on Chisled Face, Ron says the razor is mild and therefore you can do multiple passes without irratation or hurting yourself. Since I didn't really need a shave because of little stubble I did find the razor to be on the mild side. I guess riding the cap is the same as using long strokes which is what I have been doing for decades. As evaluated by a member on Reddit this is a fun razor to use. The light weight and grippy handle (#3 Imperial) indeed make it fun to shave. I will use it mulitple times and try different blades before I come to any final conclusions.

Got mine today with the #3 handle. My first impression
Presentation- Excellent, well boxed and packed. The aluminum case is beautifully crafted
Fit- Excellent
Finish- Very good
Handle design and grip - Excellent
Shave - I used the GSB blade it came with and Face lathered using my Simpson #3 Trafalgar and ETHOS Peppermint soap.
It was easy to find the correct angle as the Razor sounds like “buttering toast” very loudly when you are there. For me
It was about a 45 degree angle ( handle to face). This is definitely on the mild side razor and I needed a 3 pass shave
On 24 hr growth with a few buffings needed in my tougher areas.
If you like razors more toward the mild side, with ease of use, this may be a razor for you. If you prefer to ride the bar and like blade feel I would move on.

So efficiency wise it seems to be on the milder side.

How about the smoothness, how does it compare to the RS10 and the Ti2 in your experience?
