Very interesting thread. I wasn't expecting to come across a thread like this, as I clicked on one of the "similar threads" links since it sounded interesting. So if I have hard water (I normally take the razor blade out after each shave and let the razor itself air dry), would you guys say to stay away from Titanium razors? The water's pretty hard here, so I'm not sure whether or not to waste the money on one if it's going to start getting all those water spots/stains on it.
