Thank you to Jonathan @Reggie’s Razors and Chris @Boycie83 for sorting this passaround out. Not a massive fan of lightweight razors, however, the SS could definitely pique my interest.

The Titan razor from Reggie's Razors has arrived. Box is nice and small and the razor fits nicely inside its tin. For those of you on the pass around, the lid of the tin slides off - it doesn't lift off.

The razor has a polished finish although you can see some machining effects on the top cap. The razor has a nice weight to it. The handle looks like it could be slippery but I'll see how it fares during the shave.

A London Bridge blade is loaded in the Titan and ready for tomorrow's shave..

Thank you again Jonathan @Reggie’s Razors for this opportunity.

First shave with the Titan. I initially thought the .6mm blade gap may be too mild but the razor feels mildly blade positive in terms of exposure. Reminds me of the Carbon. It took down 48 hours of growth and delivered what I needed in 2 passes. The handle has a nice touch at the bottom - an 'R' for Reggie. Nice bit of machining work. The handle wasn't as slippery as I thought it was going to be. There were a couple of moments where I thought I could feel it moving between my fingers but no additional pressure was required to hold it correctly.

I have a fair amount of irritation from this shave. Foolishly I opted to try a new soap and razor at the same time. I'll use a soap I'm more familiar with for the next shave.

Razor: Reggie's Titan
Blade: Gillette Platinum (1)
Brush: Highlander Tulip HMW
Soap: Mondial Tobacco Verde

Loaded a fresh GP in to the Titan. Much better shave today. No irritation.

My initial fears on the grip were unfounded. I've had no issues holding and manoeuvring the razor - the thought of it slipping from my fingers hasn't crossed my mind once during the last couple of shaves. The Titan is a nice weight - good balance between the head and the handle.

Those of you that have followed my shaving habits know that drag/suction is my pet hate and I've sold razors that have this issue after one shave. I'm pleased to say that no drag/suction was experienced in any of the shaves I've had with the Titan - another tick in the box.

The only bit I'm not clicking with is its performance on my neck. A semi-niche requirement of mine is neck comfort. I couldn't get on with the Blackbird, Vector or Carbon because of how they were on my neck. It's not that the razor is not efficient but more of a comfort issue. It improved considerably woth the GP blade however.
