I just got two of these from the GD factory, no markings, and my contact there refuses to divulge the steel alloy or a model number. They look an awful lot like Titan, to me. @rbscebu hope you see this.
The scales and spacer are dreadfully heavy. The razor tips the scales at 3.3oz. A GD66 is 1.9oz, for comparison. The weight is all i the scales and honing was extremely difficult because of the terrible balance. Also the steel seemed quite hard. I would say at least 62C. Shave test in the morning. So is this a Titan? A fake Titan? Are GD and Titan secretly in cahoots? For certain, I hate those scales. They are crazy thick with a SS liner and a SS spacer too. Grinding wasn't too bad. Bevel angle is a bit on the fatty side, 18.13 deg. This, while recently produced GD razors are mostly well under 18deg.
