Thanks for the incredibly valuable responses.
Certainly have a lot to think about. I did own a Brassbird and had no trouble using it every day. It was just too heavy for me. I also had the Timeless Bronze OC that was too aggressive for every day.

Do yourself a favor, I have owned every razor mentioned above and have tried the new Paradigm Ti Diamondback.  

It is smoother than the Henson Ti +++ and just as efficient.

FWIW, I didn't like the brass either. I love the stainless and titanium ones, but if I had to choose one, it would be the titanium, no hesitation.

Thanks.


I don't think there is anything that beats the Henson Ti "Aggressive" at that price point ($250).
Hell of a value proposition on price and performance.
However, the Diamondback Ti at its launch price ($262) may be a contender...but that ship has sailed.

I purchased the Timeless Titanium 0.68 scalloped bar. It is a quite mild shaver, ideal for those with sensitive skin, light beards, or for ATG passes. I liked it a lot, but wanted something a little more efficient. I purchased another Timeless Titanium, but this time with the 0.95 scalloped plate. I had intended to purchase the OC for even more efficiency, but I messed up when ordering. My intention is to use the Timeless 0.95 for WTG and XTG passes and then switch to the 0.68 for the ATG and cleanup pass with buffing.

I love the Timeless Titanium crown handle. It is wonderful grip and balance with the titanium head.

I cannot comment on other Titanium razors as I have never tried them. Most of my other razors are stainless steel, brass, or plated alloy. However, I am so happy with the Timeless Titanium that I see little need to try other titanium razors.

I had both the Timeless Ti .68 & .95 and although it was a great razor, the bulkiness of the head eventually got to me. Once I got a BB Ti I never looked back, however for my skin it's not the smoothest of the bunch but one of the most efficient DE I own together with several Wolfman Ti razors.

Timeless Ti for sure.  The 0.95 oc is a great razor.

Another vote for the Yates 921. I use the EH plate every other day. It's amazing how smooth and comfortable it is given the efficiency. I think the EH plate could be used for daily shaving, but the H plate might be a safer bet.

A couple others to consider:
  - Timeless Ti Slim - Timeless calls it AGGRESSIVE (in all caps), but I don't find it to be that way 
  - H&S Co. Ti Efficient - This is an autopilot razor with good efficiency for me. There's a DFS passaround thread with a lot of great reviews.

Anyone have experience with the Yates Merica Ti?
