Remington Razor

Hi All,
I heard on TV tonight an ad for a Remington electric razor that hyped the fact
that the blades were titanium coated and that titanium was noted for its
sharpness ( I assume they mean hardness) I was unaware that titanium, or any
of its alloys or treatments, came anywhere near the rockwell numbers associated
with hardened tool steel. Am I learning something new about titanium or
creative marketing?

I'm sure they mean TiN coatings, not the base metal. Titanium has more testosterone sound to it than "A few molecules thick coating"

They probably mean titanium nitride (TiN).

Electric razors have always been sold with big lies, like "Shaves as close as a blade, or your money back."
There are good reasons to own and use an electric razor, at least on occasion. But shaving "as close as blade" (or having titanium-coated blades, or some other silly gimmick) is not one of them.
The stupidest thing was converting to multiple narrow heads instead of one big one some years ago. Pure marketing, at the cost of performance.

Shave????

No 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out. Is that evil? Is that wrong? People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for the rule of brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically "right". Guns end that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work. - L. Neil Smith

No- But I have seen a couple of silly twits laying their heads on a granite table and measuring the thickness of their fat heads with a Tesa Microhite :-) Almost fell off my stool laughing :-)

Only half joking. Interested in others' thoughts.
Not necessarily. With TC tipped stuff, mostly in rec.woodworking (the Wreck), there has been much said about various TCT qualities. Many comments have been made about the crystaline structure and voids in some of the cheaper TCT saw blades. They may be of equal hardness, but the edge (sharpness) can vary greatly. So the material may hold whatever sharpness you can impart, but not get as sharp as a better quality.

Well I bed to differ. I have been using electric razors for many years and you couldn't pay be enough to go back to using a blade.
And I think that three floating heads works very well.
And yes I have a remington high end razor too.
