I have one, a Durum model, that was replated in nickel and it's incredibly comfortable to use.

I'm not sure if I could afford Ti, but it will be interesting to see.

Any chance of seeing tungsten carbide head and handles? I know it's a whole different ball game and not machined. I have a Tungsten wedding band that cost less than some shaving soaps and still looks like I just bought it this morning. After more than 10 years and not a single scratch. I have even tried to scratch it and it is still flawless.

I would love to see mixed materials too. Something durable and still hefty. Ti cap and stainless base plate? Mix and match. Endless possibilities.

This sounds interesting, but wouldn't making a razor and handle out of tungsten carbide make it very heavy? It is a very dense material, if I remember correctly.

Blade4vor, yes it would be quite heavy and now that I think about it, it would be a terrible choice of material. I forgot about the fact that it is very brittle. If it were to fall onto a hard surface, it could easily shatter into a million pieces.

I wondered about that too. A drop and shatter could really ruin the mood. I have often wondered about dropping one of the tungsten carbide rings as well.

Would be glad to hear your take gents. I like a less aggressive razor myself, so this looks really interesting. Even more tempting than their first one actually.
