Blue Titanium Coated Straight Razor

Hello,

Not interested in but just wondering what every one would think of this straight razor I stumbled across on the site The Art of Manliness! I love Titanium (hence the screen name) but I like quality straight's more. Let me know what you think of this razor!

I can't be 100% without having tried one, but it looks way too gimicky. Titanium coatigs are best left on disposables imo.
Also, could you really shave with a razor with "Venus" on it? I mean, it's not very manly at all. How ironic would it be if you dropped it while shaving naked & lopped your widger off!
(Never shave naked with a straight!)

! Great advice! To me it looks like junk, but thought it was interesting.

The pinning looks horribly cheap IMO.

If you like that look why not blue the blade instead. It'll look just as good if not better and I think it would actually help protect the steel from corrosion.

yep paki garbage. I wouldn't take it if you gave it to me for free.

I've seen these before and the website brags that the titanium coating makes the edge sharper and longer lasting.

The logic doesn't stand.

Think about what happens when a razor's edge is honed. Steel is removed from the surface! That means if there is in fact a titanium coating on the blade, the only place there will not be titanium is at the edge--because it was honed away!

This is a stupid pointless gimmick.

I saw this on the art of manliness too, but I'm pretty sure it was one of those targeted banner ads and not affiliated with the site.

It's dangerous for a site to allow banner ads with pics these days. Someone will write author of the article and complain about the crap that was promoted :rofl:

Well, it says:

Brands of Straight Razors to avoid - Straight Razor Place Wiki
Pakistani (any razor made in pakistan)

Do we want to add "Venus"?
