From browsing various razor manufacturer websites and building razors for fun, I've noticed that titanium usually means a significant price increase. However, with Timeless razors this isn't the case.
A matte SS oc razor with scalloped top cap is $230. The same razor in titanium is only $260. Is there something about Timeless' manufacturing process that allows them to charge nearly the same price for both metals?
This thread is what caused me to even notice this in the first place What are your favorite mild yet efficient open comb razors? - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/what-are-your-favorite-mild-yet-efficient-open-comb-razors.650200/. I knew the titanium would be above his budget, but thought a SS oc would be within range. Then I built a SS oc razor and it was nearly the same price as the titanium. I was very surprised.
It might take a company insider to know the real answer but I'm just curious what might be the reason a Timeless SS and titanium razor are so close in price when nearly everyone else charges a significant premium for titanium.
