Yes, mine chatted a bit in use so maybe I didn't tighten up the razor enough
But as I normally know in the first shave if it's a keep. I have no regrets in moving the razor on after only two shaves.

I’m only one shave in, very efficient. WTG smooth, however I can definitely feel that blade going ATG, nothing crazy but it had my respect. Love the build quality, only thing I didn’t like was the action of screwing on the handle, not as smooth as I’d like and seems like you could easily cross thread of not careful.

A smooth & efficient shave with the Ti D-back. Feedback from the razor is very nice, not over the top nor muted but, a nice balance where the audible effect is enough to let one know exactly what’s going on at the business end. Easy to maneuver and control anywhere on the face & neck while still having that feel of don’t get too carried away, if that makes any sense to anyone. Truly an enjoyable razor that delivers excellent results.
Great shaves to all…

Agree.
I’ve been using it (almost..) exclusively for daily face shaves since I got it, and really enjoying it.

Just a copy & paste from another write up I did on the DFS forum this morning.....
Such an easy shave this morning with the Diamondback Ti. Nearly effortless with every stroke and at every stage of my 3 pass shave. The balance in shave efficiency with comfort & smoothness is simply superb. Is it the best that I’ve ever experienced or encountered in my shave den and shave razor journey? Hard to say as I have a couple that are excellent as well in the Ti alloy. I’ll say this. If a compromise between good efficiency & really good comfort/smoothness is your sole goal, there are vey few that I can count on one hand that can deliver those qualities exceptionally well. There is no perfect razor for all and whomever makes such a claim is living in their own fantasy wet shave land of their own creation. There is no razor that is the one to dominate all. However, there is a good measuring tool when it comes to placing one razor over the other and that is by general consensus of opinion by a majority rule. Many aspects contribute to this arrangement with far too many factors to mention independently but, in general we as wet shavers look into the overall thoughts of a said razor and look for similarities between users of said specific razor and notice if they all come to an approximation of comparisons between users that determines if a said razor is bestowed as one of the best, if not best razor for the general shave consumer. Without getting into the limited production, price and availability of some of these high priced items, there still is a number though much smaller and concentrated within a niche segment, the general rules of an accepting majority still applies. Collectors or razor collecting is another segment that is vast and I have no need nor the desire to explore this topic but, I have to concede that some of these high priced and limited production razors are bought up by collector’s because of their exclusivity and potential to rise in price as time passes on. It’s seen as an investment and with some of these items, rightfully so. Let me get back on topic here with the Ti D-back. It’s a razor that meshes the lines of comfort & efficiency superbly without taking a back seat to any other razor. This might be the “Holy Grail razor” for some and not for others. However, as it stands and has been said throughout this forum thread and many other forums like this one, it is one of the best razors ever made to date and that statement gives it a clear stand via a pragmatic approach in the conversation/argument for best ever.
Great to have these conversations & debates on what is best or not. I certainly enjoy them and entertain them from time to time. Honestly though, I’d rather shave with arguably one of the best ever. I get more satisfaction out of it in the end. The Ti D-back is certainly amongst the best. At least in my experience.

It was just delivered today. Just a couple of pics for the “pics or it didn’t happen” crew. There are plenty of forums with some outstanding shots if one wants to see every nook & cranny. I’ll get a few shaves in the next few days and write up a mini review shortly after.
And yes, it looks gorgeous in person…

That looks a very lovely razor. I did contemplate ordering one myself, but I decided to wait for Andy's next razor that has been mentioned over on another forum and add to that I made a promise too myself of a maximum of 3 razor purchases this year - without selling others first. All of these 3 spots are spoken for!!!.

JP, apparently - there is / maybe another razor from Andy. I saw a post on a US forum from someone who's very close to him.Ah sorry I thought you meant another Paradigm was being released. Great choices
