Had several spots removed by the dermatologist and have not been shaving until my face healed up. Pleased to report that my face is feeling a bit better, certainly good enough to try a 2-pass shave (staying WTG on my face). My heartfelt thanks to those who sent prayers and good wishes. Thank you.
The SS Vector is currently my favorite razor! The GTC 25g handle complements the SS Vector head beautifully. The Kai MG blade is a perfect match for the Vector, kind to my face while still being quite effective. Awesome razor. I can't wait to shave with the Ti Vector when it arrives!
The AP Shave Co Black Green is a wonderful brush. Lathers great. Feels great. I really like the G5C Fan!
Stayed with The Dead Sea soap, The Dead Sea Aftershave and Classic Match Homme EdT Spray again today. Very satisfying combination!
Superb top tier shave!

I had my laser treatment earlier this year, but that was on my head - and I do not head shave only trim.
So glad to see that the healing progresses enough to start shaving again David.
Cheers,
Guido

Things continue to improve, but still taking it easy on my face. WTG on my face. WTG, ATG & XTG on my neck.
Staying with the SS Vector + GTC 25g Handle + Kai MG blade again today. Awesome combination!
The Frickwerkz brush feels substantial in the hand - very comfortable. It quickly and easily whips up a wonderful lather. A very nice brush!
Martin de Candre Nature is an awesome soap. Unscented, but smells really clean. Beautiful lather, nice and slick. A top tier soap in all respects!
RazoRock Zi' Peppino has a very fresh tobacco flower scent. Quite refreshing!
Cuba Royal EdT Spray has a tobacco scent that complements the Zi' Peppino. I like it! Very satisfying combination!

David,
Congrats on the Ti Vector. I know it's been on your radar for a long time. I hope it's everything you expect and more.
I'm also glad your face is healing up enough to enable you to shave again.

Thank you Kim.
I've modified my standard 3-Pass plus Touchup Pass process to give my face a break. Closer to 2 1/2 passes. Have been using the Stainless Vector SB with Kai Protouch MG blade. Decent enough results with zero irritation - even to the areas where he zapped suspicious spots. Really looking forward to seeing how the Ti Vector compares.

A most interesting development.....
My older (from ~3 years or so ago) Schick Proline blades fit perfectly in my new Ti Vector.
Cool.

First shave with the Ti Vector. Using the same handle, but a new blade (the one I used yesterday would now be on shave 7). Comparison between the Ti and Stainless Vectors:
The AP Shave Co White is a really cool, and extremely cost effective brush. The G5C knot builds great lathers and feels great on my face. Outstanding performance!

First shave with the Ti Vector. Using the same handle, but a new blade (the one I used yesterday would now be on shave 7). Comparison between the Ti and Stainless Vectors:
- Efficiency: Pretty much equal efficiency.
- Smoothness: Both Vectors are extremely smooth, but the Ti is smoother. Same kind of difference noted between the Ti and SS Blackbirds.
- Nimble and Maneuverable: Both Vectors are exceptionally nimble and maneuverable. The extra smoothness of the Ti Vector gives it a slight nod.
- Predictable: Both Vectors are exceptionally predictable. They don't chatter, jump around or do anything untoward. They just go exactly where I tell them to go and do exactly what I tell them to do.
- Overall effectiveness: Both Vectors are extremely effective, with the nod going to the Ti Vector based on the higher smoothness plus higher nimble and maneuverable attributes.
The AP Shave Co White is a really cool, and extremely cost effective brush. The G5C knot builds great lathers and feels great on my face. Outstanding performance!

Second shave with the Ti Vector was as good as the first! There is little doubt in my mind that the Ti Vector will take the title of Overall Alpha Big Dog in my Den. The Ti Vector is an awesome razor!
The @Rudy Vey B&B 2020 Contributors brush is fantastic! Outstanding performance!
PannaCrema Nuàvia Blu is an awesome soap. There are very few soaps out there with performance this good. Outstanding post shave face feel!
The combination of Bootlegger's El Dorado aftershave + Belcam Volatile EdT Spray fragrance is (for me, at least) as good as it gets. Very bold and satisfying!

Reflecting on how I got to the point where I want all of my shaves to be with the Ti Vector. This razor really has my attention. 
Will this attraction last? And for how long?Who knows. I'm sure that I'll still get in shaves with my other Big Dogs, but the bar has been raised!
