Has anyone actually had a razor lock up? Seems like overthinking a problem to me. But it is interesting!

Rosseforp,But of course Molykote is not something you would want near your face! The article is very interesting and quite accurate even in today's manufacturing environment.
I routinely machine Titanium to tolerances of +.0002" -.0000" for camera lenses. Titanium is extremely sensitive to galling even at room temperatures with light finger pressure. We use Lanolube on our inspection pins to prevent galling.
Any similar product such as Vick's Vapor Rub or Vaseline will safely provide all the lubrication needed.

Dennis,Rosseforp,
Just a note about your avatar - I too am an HP guy and those 41's were the real deal weren't they?

One might oil the threads of a Ti razor, but I wouldn't.
Because its unnecessary!! I've had my Ti Timeless for over a year and have never had any problem with threading the handle onto the head at all. I think one would really have to screw up in which to have a problem with a Titanium Timeless razor!!Because it is unnecessary or because you expect a negative effect down the line?

Actually I'm thinking that if you are one of those that wrench the handle onto the head, its not a matter of if something will happen, its a matter of when it will happen and I don't think any kind of lubrication will help that at all... A handle need only be snugged up at most...If you are of a mind to honk your titanium razor head down as tightly as possible, using a hydraulic wrench, lubricant is probably a good idea.
