Just a step short of shaving your beard with Wolverine’s claws themselves, the Titaner TiGlide S1 is perhaps the coolest, slickest, and most durable razor you could grace your jawline with. Machined from solid titanium, the TiGlide S1 sports a gorgeous minimal design that leverages single-edge shaving. A microtexture on the titanium and a scalloped bar below the blade edge allows the razor to glide along your skin, while Titanium’s natural anti-bacterial and biocompatible properties truly make it the perfect pick for this razor’s design. Besides, it’s so durable, you’ll probably never need to buy another razor ever again.

Titanium has for long been a go-to choice for EDC makers, given its durable, anti-corrosive nature… however, the same reasons it’s perfect for EDC also make it perfect for a shaving razor. It’s durable, skin-friendly, rust-proof, and bacteria-resistant – all features that lend themselves wonderfully to the TiGlide S1’s design.
The TiGlide S1 relies on a single-edge shaving experience. Most razors on the market (we’re looking at you, Gillette) come with two, three, or sometimes even four blade edges, claiming that it provides a cleaner shave. The truth, however, is that the clean shave also comes at a cost of skin burn, caused by multiple blades grazing against your skin. The trick to a clean shave doesn’t lie in the number of blades, it lies in the angle at which the blade runs against your skin. Get that right and you’ll be left with a clean, stubble-free jawline that doesn’t turn red from razor-burn. The TiGlide S1 achieves this by allowing you to micro-adjust the blade’s angle once you load it into the razor. A screw at the back lets you control the angle of the blade down to a fraction of a degree, letting you quickly optimize as you shave so you’re left with the perfect clean shave without the sensitive skin that follows after.
The razor’s design is incredibly simple, which is what I personally love so much about it. Rather than complicating things with multiple blades, pivoting heads, and aloe-vera skin-hydrating strips, the Titaner TiGlide S1 just nails the basics and does it spectacularly well. The razor comes machined from titanium, with a simple, low-poly-inspired design that may remind you of a certain electric truck’s form factor. The smooth handle may strike you as slippery, but it’s quite the opposite, with a design that’s fairly grippy even when being used with wet or soapy hands. A microtexture on the razor’s head helps it glide across your skin with ease, and there’s a scalloped bar right underneath the blade’s edge, which further helps this frictionless glide by allowing shaving cream lather to flow through its tiny grooves as the blade’s edge runs against your skin, finely cutting any hair.
Using the TiGlide S1 feels pretty intuitive if you’ve ever shaved before. Load half a blade into the razor’s top, before snapping the magnetic head on. Tighten the screw at the back till you get the blade angle you desire (ensuring everything’s locked in place), and you’re ready to go. You can use the razor for dry-shaving or wet-shaving, and once you’re done, a simple rinse under tap water cleans all the cream/stubble off. A single-edge blade is a lot easier to clean than those multi-edge ones that have loads of grooves in them to trap hair, and titanium is inherently rust-proof and anti-bacterial, making maintenance a no-brainer.
Once you’re done, the TiGlide S1 comes with its own stand that lets you vertically dock it. It feels almost anti-gravitational, the way the razor stands perfectly upright… although that’s precisely what’s so cool about the stand. This upright docking also allows the razor to dry faster, thanks to gravity, so your blade doesn’t rust (the blade’s still going to be made of steel with a diamond-like coating). If you’re looking to travel with your TiGlide S1, it comes with a nifty silicone pouch too, allowing you to carry the razor along with a few spare blades to cover the duration of your trip.

Aside from looking undeniably gorgeous, the TiGlide S1 also champions sustainability. Just like printer companies, razor companies like Gillette make their money not by selling razors, but rather by selling cartridges. They control the cartridge market (you can only use branded cartridges with your branded razor, right?), which means you’re perpetually their customer. You also end up buying use-and-throw cartridges that contain blades and skin-soothing strips encased in a plastic outer cover, which is impossible to recycle once thrown in the trash. The TiGlide S1 has none of that. All you need is a simple pack of shaving blades (choose a good quality one for a great shave) and you’re good to go. The blades break in half before mounting within the TiGlide S1, and it’s recommended you change the blade every 5-10 shaves, so each complete blade lasts anywhere up to 20 shaves.
Although it isn’t specifically guaranteed, your Titaner TiGlide S1 should last you a couple of lifetimes thanks to its titanium construction. Each TiGlide S1 starts at a discounted $129, comes with the silicone pouch included, and ships globally. An extra $12 also gets you the titanium base/stand.
