To be consistent, you can shave with a titanium-coated blade. The LOI titanium was definitely smoother than other blades in one of my razors (but not in others).

I completely agree and feel very fortunate to be in a position to even have the choice between Wolfman razors. It’s a nice “problem” to haveTough choice! (In reality, very much a first world problem!)
.@slimshavy what is a LOI titanium coated blades?? What are some examples of titanium coated blades??
How did this plan work out? Inquiring minds would like to know?
I may have missed it elsewhere, but what did you choose?

After speaking with some other members with A Ti wolf I’ll be going with WR2 1.35 Ti once able to proceed.@PRobots I haven’t received the proceed to order from Tara yet but should be soon. I don’t believe the efficiency will be terribly noticeable, I am going to purchase a WR2 1.25 Ti. Looking forward to a very comfortable shave
Thanks for the reply!
I got the Wolfman 1.35 Ti. Compared to the Wolfman SS 1.25- The shave with the Ti lasts longer so it must be a little closer shave but not by much. The bigger blade gap has not been an issue which was a concern going in. The Ti is obviously lighter and more nimble but not as light and nimble as my Timeless Titanium which I was surprised by. I still use my Wolfman SS and enjoy it. Bottom line I found the difference between the Wolfman 1.25 SS and 1.35 Ti to be modest. Certainly, no wow factor. That is not a bad thing considering the same vendor produced the razors and the specifications I compared were not much different. I am also not sure there was much room for improvement to begin with.I completely agree and feel very fortunate to be in a position to even have the choice between Wolfman razors.

Thank you for the reply.
I'm intrigued by your comments about it not being as nimble as the Timeless Ti. What handle did you choose?

sorry to keep asking questions but do you know the total weight?
Sorry I do not
Sorry just seeing this now. A company called Samah makes titanium blades under the brand LOI. They also make ones under the Sharp brand name; some are titanium and some are not. I haven’t tried the Sharp titaniums, but the one Sharp I tried was not great.I completely agree and feel very fortunate to be in a position to even have the choice between Wolfman razors.

I have a Tatararazors Masamuna Nodachi in steel and in titanium.
Titanium feels “warmer” (more pleasant) to touch than steel, which is a function of the material, has a better grip in soapy water, and is easier to manoeuvre because of the lower mass.
This results in a “lighter” feel during the shave, which may not be for everyone, as some shavers like the heavier feel of steel.
Both Nodachi heads perfectly keep the blade in place, so from this perspective I did not feel any difference, let alone “blade chatter”.

As a machinist that has worked with both materials, I whole heartedly agree.
The only metal chips I have ever seen float were titanium. True doggone story.
