Yes, it's new - the jimps are fairly crudely cut.

I ordered this Titan about 5 weeks ago from the Chinese website and it arrived today. I paid $31.78 delivered. The steel is allegedly Japanese and I really have no reason to doubt that fact. You can see the entire package from the pictures. The strop is a light
denim cotton. All in all I think it is all very well done. The edge under my
30 loupe looks great and probably too sharp. I have to say I am impressed for the small amount of money. The blade is tight and centered in the scales. It has a double set of pivot washers (brass) and the spacer is metal and the jimps are well finished. Thought you folks might enjoy a look.
I tuned this edge a bit on my Zulu-Grey stone followed with about 35 passes on a Scrupleworks Norwegian cow hide strop and finished with 20 passes on a Neil Miller
napped cowhide strop to smooth every thing out.
This particular Titan shaved well. It has a tiny bow to the edge that you need to
allow for as you shave.
All in all for $31 and change I am impressed. As with all things wet shaving related YMMV.

The Titan package includes a very well printed catalog with an impressive package of Japanese steel scissors including a beautiful Damascus pair. The catalog also includes the full Titan straight razor lineup.

That's nice!
Let us know how it all holds up.
