Hey Gian my friend. The guys at timeless are great and you may be able to work something out with them. I have also used Razor Emporium polishing service with good results. Its not a mirror polish but neither is the one bought from timeless. If you really want to make it shine AlanH81 is a master. Look at his post history. Incredible stuff.

Titanium is harder than most other metals. It is around 6 on the MHOS scale. Thus, to polish it, you will need to used abrasives that are even harder. That will include things like Topaz, Corundum (Aluminum Oxide) , Cubic Boron Nitride and Diamond.

You might want to check with Timeless to see how much they might charge for polishing it. By the time you purchase the tools and abrasives needed to polish your razor, getting it done by the original manufacturer is likely to be less expensive, if they are willing to do it.

In some ways I actually like my matte Timeless surface better than polished Ti surfaces in my collection.  I don't have to worry about micro-scratches on the surface and just really like the look of the matte Timeless razor. IMHO, Timeless makes a really good looking matte titanium finish.  If you are considering the expense of polishing your matte Timeless, I would suggest that you consider keeping your Timeless as is and use that money toward purchase of another polished Ti razor if you can afford it.

In my titanium collection I have a polished Paradigm Ti II, polished H&S Z074 Ti-5, and my Timeless Ti in matte.  I also have two Timeless Ti Crown handles, one polished and one in matte. If you have any tendency towards being obsessive about retaining a polished surface on your titanium razors, you are in for some frustration.  Personally, I don't worry about it and enjoy having both types of surfaces on my titanium razors.

If you are interested in polishing, I would suggest AlanH81. He has polished 4 of my razors - and they are spectacular. He has quite the clientele-and his work is readily viewable in DFS.
