No worries, I just didn't know if I was supposed to respond and how. Didn't want to ignore. I get those moments all the time Happy2

Great video Dave, and FWIW I think the mustache is looking great.  I have pretty much the same perceptions of the titanium (Ti) vs stainless steel (SS) Blackbird and Vector.  The Ti Blackbird came to my den after the SS version, and the difference was, as you say, like night and day, and very much to my liking for the reasons you mentioned.  The Ti Vector also came to my den after the SS version.  For me, the difference was also striking and very much to my liking, but not initially to the same degree as the Blackbird.  However, the Ti Vector has become my MRFMR ("Most Reached For Modern Razor").  I have grown to enjoy lighter weight razors, including many vintage ones and the Timeless Aluminum.  Compared to their heavier SS cousins, I find the lightweight versions easier to wield with a feather touch (no pun intended), and that makes for a smoother, more relaxed and enjoyable shave.  Of course, this is a very personal thing, and no doubt some will prefer heavier razors for the same reason I prefer the lighter ones.  To each his own.  

Once again:  Great video Dave, and for me personally, a very pleasant way to start Christmas eve day.  Thank you, and best of the season to you.

Thanks Mike, I too think that I may prefer the titanium for the weight as well as the softness. Subconsciously it's probably much easier on my arthritic joints.

Enjoyable video as always. Did you happen to try the Atelier DURDAN La Faulx during its pass around? Just curious if you had any comparative thoughts. I previously owned and moved on my SS Vector, as the La Faulx was a better fit for me (It has turned out to be one of my top razors overall). But I have occasionally wondered about the Vector in Ti. I had assumed the Ti might not have as dramatic an impact given the overall dimensions and weight of the SS variant. So it was interesting to hear your comparison mentioned in the video.

Hope you had a great Christmas!
