How long did it take for your Tibam handle to get from Russia to the US?

Ordered Jan 14; shipped Jan 25; arrived Chicago Intn'l Distribution Center Feb 2; took a detour to east coat, milled around Pittsburgh for a few days, now in Columbus, OH.  I live in Iowa.  LOL

Mine was ordered around the same time, and shipped on Jan 20.  Here's a screen shot taken this morning.  
It's been 12 days since it supposedly left Moscow.  Which makes me wonder if mine has been lost in the mail.  
But which mail, Russia or USA?  I guess there is nothing to do but wait and see what happens.

I have read and have been told so many contrasting views regarding the Slim Ti. 
Some have mentioned it is quite mild and not much blade exposure and others have stated that it does have good blade exposure and it is quite aggressive. 
Not sure what to think. The only way to find out is for me to actually order one, at some point, but it'll be the OC plate to make sure the exposure is there. 
Good luck with your decision.

Yeah, I am likewise confused by the variability of impressions.  I am just so thirsty for a Ti razor at a "reasonable" cost, that is sufficiently low profile to be agile (my Blackland Vector has spoiled me beyond words in this regard, among others), that I might be willing to take the plunge even given the high probability it'll mean I spend ~$50-$75 to "rent" it for a month or two (due to the loss I'd take by selling it).  I've done this before, and I guess I'm still a glutton for fiscal punishment, hahahaha.  J/k, I know it's part of the endeavor, and I accept it up to a point.

The original Ti TRH6 handle is 51 grams, and I find the razor has the perfect total weight and balance.
Would be interested to hear if the new lighter handle maintains that...

The grip on the 85 mm Ti doesn't have the greatest grip but the new Ti looks better also it is 90 mm which I prefer.

True...
It certainly looks nice, and the knurling kind of reminds me of the Rex Ambassador, so should be comfortable and grippy.

Ordered one today,  I think the length is perfect and it really looks very nice and grippy.  My .68 OC is a regular for my daily shaves. Price for a Titanium polished handle is hard to beat that is made in USA
