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!

Can't remember my thoughts but Video # 337 is my shave with it. I'm sure I gave thoughts there at the time that I can't remember now. Pretty sure in this video I stated the difference in SS and Ti with the Vector wasn't as big an improvement as it was with the Blackbird. Thanks and best wishes

Thanks, I will take a look at that video. And I caught the comparison in the current video on Vector metals. It basically confirmed my intuition that the difference would not be as dramatic. I would also add that the difference between Ti and SS for the La Faulx was not dramatic, at least in my time with pass arounds. But there was enough difference, that I am considering acquiring a Ti La Faulx as my primary and making my SS La Faulx a backup (after I sell a few other razors  )
