Today I received a couple more Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 SRs direct from the manufacturer. The steel for these SRs was made in Japan, timber for the scales was grown in Africa and all manufacturing/assembly done in Taiwan. Each kit consists of a ⅞ (21mm) Dutch point carbon steel alloy SR, PU leather zippered case, 60mm wide denim strop with brass plated steel hardware and a 4g block of rare-earth cerium stropping paste. The kit on AliExpress costs about US$22 including free worldwide shipping.
My intention with this kit is to use it following the instructions of the manufacturer, Titan. They state that the blade is sharp but may need some stropping on the supplied strop with the cerium paste to be suitable for shaving.
Having purchased 14 of these SRs over the past few years, including making a M7DS, I am familiar with them and they can be honed into very good shavers. I have never before followed Titan's instructions for preparing this model of SR. This thread will cover my progress with this SR kit using the Titan method.
