Not really! We gots to know, How was the Vector shave??!!

2nd one since arriving and just as awesome as they always were. Never had trouble with it. I was just downsizing and then realized all the AC style blades that would be sitting. Decided I'd rather have the Vector than the Ti Blackbird I guess.......

I guess I missed that as well, if you moved the Ti Blackbird on! I am in negotiations with a gent in another neighborhood for a Ti Vector. Apparently he has 2, as one came loosely packed and has the markings to prove it so he got another. I am waiting for pics. And I am debating regarding spending on a Vector again. I really want to love it, but the SS was too much for daily use. Shane and others say the face feel of Ti can make a lot of difference in the "aggressive" feel of a razor. I recall you liked the feel of the Ti Blackbird compared to its SS version. So, I am talking myself into doing this, as long as the Vector isn't horribly marred.

The seller has me a little concerned, as he'll PM me then go days without following up. But this morning he stated that he hasn't forget me, and he has been super busy with work and moving to a new place, so he has to find the Vector and its box, take photos, and hopes to do that soon. I am okay with waiting, as I can continue debating with myself what to do!

I didn't need the soft feel of Ti with the Vector but you have me curious now ......

If ever there was an appropriately named shaving soap, Gin & Tonic On The Rocks has to be it.  Perhaps I will have an actual G&T on the rocks the next time I shave with this most excellent shaving soap.  The last such shave was MacDuff's Backcountry Bourbon accompanied by a shot of bourbon.

I would not recommend it to start out your day unless, of course, you want to impress your coworkers, clients or your boss.
