LOOT Wrote:Today I completed my WR2 Adjustable. Left to right:
1.15SB in brushed Titanium on a WRH7XL
1.25SB in polished Titanium on a WRH7XL based Hybrid with WRH2 knurling
1.35SB in brushed Titanium on a WRH7XL based Hybrid with standard knurling
1.45SB in mirror S.St'l on a 100mm solid WRH1
1.55SB in brushed [font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Titanium on a WRH3XL with a single patch of [font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]WRH2 knurling. I'd never seen this handle before but assumed I'd like the larger dia. It's money.[/font][/font]
Today. I took receipt of my 1.55Ti (far right) today. Of course I'd been eagerly awaiting it's arrival with 5 days growth. I used a fresh Feather blade and can say, the 1.55 does maintain head smoothness. Blade feel and efficiency are increased over the 1.45. It's noticeable, which is odd because I generally feel like the Ti lose a little bit of efficiency to the SS razors so I wasn't really expecting much efficiency increase. It's there tho. I will say, even with that gap, it's forgiving. I laid it on my neck wrong, under my ear, and was certain I'd cut myself. I got too high on my lower lip and again, knew there'd be blood. Nope. Really surprising. I didn't dance around it, I drove it like I would a 1.25 and the 1.55 minded it's manners. It's a keeper. I intend to run the 1.55 daily for a week or so. I've no idea why, other than science. There likely won't be a lot of growth tomorrow so I'll likely limit it to 1.5 passes.
The second photo is my humble den, as of today. Only two artisans. I'll likely add Blackland Razors Shane's new Tradere razors when they come out...and maybe a Janus. It's taken many, many months of very hard work to put those razors on the shelf but the fruits of the effort have totally been worth it. *LOOT reaches around and gives his own self a big pat on the back*
I'M ASTOUNDED!!!

You mutts are armed with the same tools I am, with the exception of the network of friends perhaps. I encourage you all to do your best to beat me through the turnstiles. That's what keeps it interesting. Don't let the thought of me breezing by you cost you valuable seconds at check-out! A clear mind is essential to trapping these Wolves. I'm in your head, I'm in your head, I'm in your head.
Very nice collection!!
One at a time bro. You can have as many as you want. I'm proof DuFour won't freeze you out....although he may now. Haha.
