It's scary to drive on packed ice without ABS as well.

LOL! I'm glad someone else out there finds that stupid "titanium"
razor commercial as funny as I do with regard to how "sharp" titanium
is. First time I saw that, I was like, so what about those titanium
golf clubs, or titanium raquetball raquets? Maybe I should avoid
playing golf or raquetball my clubs or raquet is made of this "sharp"
metal, for fear of having an arm or leg sliced off! heheh

I think they might be using it as an advertising ploy. They are probably
titanium coating their blades. This has become a common practice in the
machining business. the coating is actually titanium nitride (commonly
referred to as TiN, and pronounced tin in the machining industry), or a
variation of it. It definitely improves tool life in machining applications,
but I have no idea what it does for a razor, LOL.
