why there are so many Titan H1 razors on BST

[bobusa]

I find many Titan H1 razors on BST these days. Its been very few months that razor is released. Why are B&B members selling it so fast?

Because the vendor is getting ready to release different heads?

Same is true of R41's. Aggressive razors purchased by shavers with undeveloped technique and/or sensitive skin end up for sale soon and often. Not a reflection on the razor.

It is a very aggressive razor and the B&B vendor ( Stan @ Abovethetie.com) has a newer less aggressive model ( Atlas) that will be interchangeable.

People tried it and some found it was either too aggressive or it wasn't a better alternative to other razors they already had. Why keep a $180 razor that isn't going to stay in your rotation? I was able to save a few bucks by buying one off the BST and I love it.

Wow - good to know! I've been using the R41 and was looking for something similar. Thought about getting the Titan H1. How would you compare the Titan H1 to Muhle R41 (assuming you've used both).

I have the 2011 R41 and the Titan H1 - The Titan gives you 90-95% of the R41 without any blood or irritation. I like my Titan quite a lot and feel that it's very close to my Barbasol Floating Head and my Joris. If you like fairly aggressive razors - it's a great one to have. With that said, I suppose a guy could buy a Futur for less than half the money - crank it up to 5 or 6 and in effect, get pretty much the same shave - but of course the "feel" and build quality would take a hit.

To the original poster's comment - it's usually the razors at the "extremes" that end up most often on B/S/T. You're going to see a number of R41s and Titan H1s due to their "over" aggressiveness. You're also going to see a fair number of Feather AS DEs, due to their extreme mildness.
