Titan Razor

[DoctorSaul]

I just received the Titan razor that I bought, new, off eBay from the Polish distributor of the razors:



I am actually overwhelmed by the quality of the razor. It came "shave ready" sharp and with a high quality leather case. The fit and finish is really amazing for a relatively inexpensive razor. The eBay blurb claims that the razor is actually of Japanese manufacture with Japanese steel, and that the distributor is in Poland. Whether this is true or not I cannot say, but the sharpness of the blade indicates to me a very high quality steel. It took almost 4 weeks to arrive from Poland after I paid for the razor. This long time for delivery may well be because of the Christmas overload of packages to be delivered both on the foreign end and in the United States.

I know there is a history on this forum regarding these Titan (and Gold Dollar and Gold Monkey) razors. I don't want to add to the controversy, simply reporting that this Titan razor is, in my opinion, a phenomenal value, easily comparable to the Dovos and Pumas in my collection.


I also received a Gold Dollar 800 today that was ordered several weeks ago. This 800 series also looks like a high quality razor. I haven't yet really had time to unpack and scrutinize the fit and finish and shave quality, but on the surface that razor also appears to be on par with the other high quality brand razors in my collection. I know Lynn and SRP don't particularly like Gold Dollar, but, I gotta tell you I'm pretty well impressed at least with the 208's and this 800 Gold Dollar.

If there is interest I could report on my evaluation of the Gold Dollar 800 after I scrutinize it.
