Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 modified to a French point shorty, dressed in figured European maple timber scales. Finished and maintained on diamond pasted balsa. An enjoyable shave, except for a slight nick on the right cheek from the blade's sharp pointy toe. CONCENTRATE!

Yesterday I used the +++ plate in the Vestige, which in combination with a brand new blade turned out to be a bit too much for comfort, though the results were superb. Today I returned to the ++ plate, which I'm beginning to think better reflects the quality of the razor.
