Haircut & Shave Ti Efficient DFS passaround

jbreakfield The razor arrived today. Everything arrived safe and sound.

I was able to get about 5 shaves in with the Ti Efficient (I usually shave every other day). I used a Polsilver Super Iridium for 2 shaves, and a Feather for the other 3. Both blades performed similarly. The first thing you notice is that this is yet another wonderfully produced razor from H&S. I like the design, and the finish on this razor is as good as you will see on any.

The Ti Efficient had minimal blade feel. It usually takes me quite a few shaves to get the feel for a light razor, and this one was not different. The angle was fairly intuitive, but finding the right pressure was a little difficult for me. Not that I had bad shaves, because the shaves were pretty smooth. I did wind up with some minor weepers on a couple of the shaves, though. I think with more time, I could dial things in. One thing of note is that it was very smooth against the grain, which I attribute to the blade being very firmly held.

The Ti Efficient lives up to the name, as it does have a fair amount of efficiency. I can’t say that I will be getting one, as I think it performs similarly to other razors that I already have. Someone mentioned that this is between the N075 and P076, and I agree with that assessment.

Thanks to H&S for providing the razor, and to andrewjs18 for running the pass around.

I had three shaves in with the H&S Co Titanium Efficient model and I must say that I have never imagined a razor could be as efficient as it was with basically no blade feel. 

My first shave was on 7 days of growth with a fresh Rapira Platinum Lux blade.  I was a little skeptical about how well this razor would remove the growth, but it mowed it down.  I did three passes and light cleanups to achieve BBS.  It was an incredibly smooth shave, but I did notice regrowth after about 8-9 hours.... which is less than what I saw with other efficient razors like the Ti 1.30mm.

My 2nd shave was on 5 days growth and was similar to the first... except I didn't have a need for additional cleanups.

My 3rd shave was for 3 days of growth and I limited myself to just two passes- one with the grain and one against the grain.  The shave quality was very high and I started feeling some regrowth about 6 hours later, but the growth was still not overly noticeable to the naked eye for up to 12 hours later.

If I was a daily shaver, this would be in the running for my razor of choice.  Since I am not a daily shaver most of the time, I slightly prefer the Ti 1.30mm model.  I will be getting that one on order.

Thanks for the opportunity to try this out Aji and andrewjs18.  The razor is all cleaned up and will be sent tomorrow to the next recipient, Fallbeard.

I received the package in good order from boilerphan

Lesser Looks like you’re next on the list. I sent you a PM requesting your mailing information.

I would love to join this passaround if possible.

I am ready to pass along the TI Efficient. I've been in communication with the next member in line, Lesser, but I think he has a busy upcoming travel schedule and should move down in line.

Time Bandit Looks like you're next in line. PM me your shipping info and I'll get the razor in the mail.

Hey there Fallbeard. PM sent.

Here's a quick few tips/rules for the pass around. Please try to be mindful of the creator of the razor and everyone on the pass around list.
