Hi Keith, it has to shave differently.  One has a .7 gap (Ti) and the other .9 (SS).

For me the 90SB is a bit more efficient but the Ghost Ti is smoother and I can still attain a bbs.
My preference leans towards lighter heads so I usually choose the Ghost Ti.

Of the three, Ti Ghost, Ghost 90SB SS and the Salient, I prefer the Ti Ghost for a close everyday shave. The only similarity I see between the Ghost vs Salient is the blade clamping... similar to the Blutt or Wolfman Guerrilla. The bottom geometry of the baseplate is different and the head is thinner/flatter.

Admittedly, as my first purchase of a China made razor, I was surprised and impressed. I use mine paired with a Ti Windrose handle for a light nimble shaver.

Mike Hi, I thought Sweeney has or had both at some point. I did see the gaps are different  too.

Yep that makes total sense. They sound fairly close to each other as one would expect. Ti is a nice addition.

dtownvino Right now, it looks that this Ti razor has a discount. Around $87.5:

I tried the .70 and enjoy it very much.  2.5 pass shave and we will see how long the BBS lasts but I can say this - it is more efficient than the Karve Overlander by a good bit yet quite gentle, similar to how I remember the Overlander.  

In fact - I used my highest strength alcohol splash after and no burn.  

This will make for a good “my skin needs a break from aggressive razors” and there are times when I just want and need a mild shave - bingo!

Sometimes I need to reel myself back in and here is one that will be a keeper.

Calm_Shaver  you are right about the satin finish, I don’t think I’ve seen one this bright and uniform.  It is the best Satin finish I have seen.

Hey Mike, happy to hear the Titanium Ghost is working out for you and it will be a keeper in your den.  Yaqi did an incredible job on the Satin finish, it has great glide with no drag whatsoever. I found it more efficient than the Overlander with similar smoothness as well.
