To be honest I thought the Ghost Ti would have been a catch and release. It is now definitely in my rotation. I love this razor. It is mild yet very efficient. Perfect amount of blade feel for my skin type. It sort of reminds me of Drakkant Ti, but I like the shaving angle on the Ghost more.  No irritation but a beautiful Bbs. It is not a 2 pass razor like the Blackbird, but after 3 passes its same BBs results. My Bbs lasted surprisingly long, as long as my Ti Wr2 1.35. Highly recommend it.
Any “stiction” or “suction” feeling like some feel the Yates and Henson razors have with the flat top cap?

That's where I bought mine.  I bought the .90 stainless steel razor head, as I already had a handle that I like.

You should be careful of price fluctuations on AliExpress because it offers discounts so often.
I paid more than $90 for his Bohemia razor, which had dropped to less than $60 two weeks later.
His razors are not expensive, but there is no need to overpay.

None that I can detect Mike. Beautiful glide. One of the best satin finishes.

This is a mirror reflection of my own opinion on the Ti Ghost. 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.

How does the Ghost Ti differ from the Ghost 90 SS besides the weights?

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