Considering one of these as a travel option

I got it primarily for using brushes with short handles (most of mine).
And also for soaps / creams samples.
But I think it will be great for traveling too.

Stunning.

How's the performance? I'd love be this razor, just too expensive for me

Just completed my first shave with the Ti II. Light and nimble, though not quite as much as the aluminium Karve. Blade feel suggests slightly greater than mid aggression, yet never suggests it's going to bite. Very smooth and I'm BBS after two passes and touch up.

Is the Karve your current favourite razor? Fair difference in cost!

Too early to say, but it's my favourite out of everything I've used to-date.

A coup[le of PAL Injectomatics,a Gillette injector, a Gillette Tech with no date stamp, 2 x British Ever Ready 1912s. The 1912 razors came as part of a job lot.

i LOVE Wolfman razors, unfortunately for me - i have been unable to buy one.
Sold out on website, and with import fees in Denmark, it's almost the cost of a car

Looks amazing, and only hear good things about it though.

On the opposite end of brand new made recently, we finally receive brand new made fifty years ago!

Not bad for an old gal if I do say so myself. Lost a few hairs, but I'll reserve judgement for after the break in period. It appears to be a clipped to shape boar knot.

Looking forward to hear your thoughts David. I have a Ti .95 SB (scalloped top), bought on BST, coming in during the next few days. I have owned the SS versions of .68 SB and .95 SB. The .68 was too mild for me, but I really liked the .95 and sometimes regret that I sold it. Mine is the matte finish, not as nice as the polished one but the shaves is what is important.

Stefan, I've owned the matte finish Ti in 0.95 DC, but sold it. Excellent shaves and very nimble, just like the aluminium Karve. I simply didn't like the finish. I can't imagine the polished is going to shave any different, but I'll know tomorrow.
