I apologize if there is another thread on this beautiful razor but I couldn’t find one. This DE is made in the USA, the original one had an aluminum baseplate with a SS top cap and handle. The most recent release is a high polished all SS razor. I have his limited edition high polished SS razor and it is a wonderfully smooth daily shaver. The blade gap is .75 and the blade exposure is 0.
The fit and finish of this razor is definitely in the same league as a Wolfman and the shave has a face feel of a WR2 .95 with the efficiency of a WR2 1.15 IMHO. Here are a few pics of mine 2 of the pics are next to my mirror polished WR1, I just ordered his new handle design.

Thanks Mark, this is the very razor I've been thinking to acquire next.

Can you compare shave experience between this & the RS10? Mostly interested in the smoothness & efficiency balance between the two razors. It sure is impressive looking!

I would say it is almost as smooth as my Ti RS10 mild plate but gives me the shave results closer to the aggressive plate. On 2 days growth tonight using a Nacet blade I got a very comfortable 3 pass BBS shave. With the zero exposure you have a very mild blade feel, it is there but very smooth.
 
For those that like shiny bling that finish is remarkable Mark and comparisons to a Wolfman polish seems appropriate. I appreciate your comparisons in shave smoothness and efficiency but it kinda isn't fair to compare it to the Titanium RS10 as there were only 10 ever made and the vendor closed up shop making less than 500 total (stainless) razors. Now if he (Avi) could be convinced to return and make a Titanium 2.0 that we could all get and use, that with be sweet.

The famous World Shaveoff Showdown thread has cost many of us. Not to mention the Janus review thread for me as well.

But we can only be enabled if we want to be.

Yes that World Shave Off Showdown introduced be to short skin stretch technique, several soaps & brushes as well as numerous vintage and modern razors many of which I hunted down and emptied my wallet for. In my book these were "enabled" but I met some wonderful people and had numerous conversations with some classy people. Too bad "they" destroyed that 5K posted thread.
