Yes. Start with the scalloped cap. But that's more my personal experience, I greatly prefer scalloped caps over smooth or other options.I can only surmise that it will be a great shaver too.

Hi m949, I was a Muhle R89 and Rocca user once. Loved the 89 but not the Rocca eventually. If you have the V92, getting an S9 in Ti or SS will be the same. According to a DS Company representative the S9 and the V92 / 95 are like triplets with the only difference being the metal and slightly increased blade gaps on the 92 and 95. So picking up a S9 would be a waste unless you want an SS or Ti version of the V92.I’m very tempted to order the Ti S9 head, based on your previous very positive experience and while waiting for the new AX heads.
Meanwhile the V92 has arrived today. I’ll be shaving with it tomorrow first with the scalloped cap. Probably based on that shaving experience I’ll consider placing the order for the S9 Ti head.
The V92 is a gorgeous razor from the looks, feel (it has a nice heft to it) and the precision work. From all that you guys have written about it, I can only surmise that it will be a great shaver too.
Hello everyone
I have a question for the connoisseurs.
I would like to buy the AX-SE zamak model.
My question is, what is the difference between cap smooth and scalloped please ?
Thank you
Yes!My question is, what is the difference between cap smooth and scalloped please ?
Yes!
The smooth cap is smooth.
The scalloped cap is scalloped.
SCNR. I like the scalloped much more, not only visually, or also seems to improve the feel and perhaps the lather flow.
I wanted to say seems the corrected that but these gaps... where did 1.55 go?!But the plates are clearly marked with these gaps instead:
- 1.12
- 1.22
- 1.32
That's Bang on mate and only by trial and testing so we figure out what's best for us.Think advising someone else what to choose in BLADE Gaps is thought.
Because we are all different.
Face, skin, and last beard.
Plus how thick is beard, does it grow straight, or fell of circular patterns?
I'm guessing they changed the product after the initial mixup between the #2 and #3 plates.
I recently bought this: (zamak 1.15, 1.35, and 1.55 gaps)

Colosed comb. Material: Zinc alloy head,stainless steel or Coppe handle.www.ebay.com
But the plates are clearly marked with these gaps instead:
- 1.12
- 1.22
- 1.32
Actually now that I look more closely at the official pictures on the page I can also see the numbers there.

You'll have to zoom in and it's somewhat blurry but the third digits in those gaps are clearly twos and not fives.
From left to right they're: 1.12, 1.22, 1.32, and they match the plates that I received.
Mate, I simply have to ask if you can share the link or at least what the Ti head is titled on Taobao. I tried to find it but couldn't when I put in DScosmetic AX Ti.Thanks, that’s very good advice. I might just do that.
Actually, I would be ordering directly from DSC in China on Taobao. The Ti head costs around USD 48 there, the 316 L costs around USD 30. However, at present only the 1.55 mm Ti head is in stock, all others aren’t available. I’ve seen that the Ti head costs around EUR 100 on Ali express.
Prices are pretty much double, but it goes both ways. A bottle of Speick Aftershave splash for example would cost EUR 26 for me.
I sent you a PM with the product name in Chinese and a link to the product to the taobao store. If you have a taobao account in Mainland China and the App installed that link should lead you to the correct product page.Mate, I simply have to ask if you can share the link or at least what the Ti head is titled on Taobao.

Thanks so much Mate. I think I will need to download the app. you're right the list is endless. The problem with Taobao is it tends to be a hit and miss while Aliexpress is more reliable. Having said that a pal got me Floid The Original Aftershave through Taobao and it is fantastic.I sent you a PM with the product name in Chinese and a link to the product to the taobao store. If you have a taobao account in Mainland China and the App installed that link should lead you to the correct product page.
Once there, you should be able to chose the Ti 1.55mm head from the product selection list. It's the only one available. All other heads whether Stainless Steel or Ti will be greyed out. In the app you should see it as in the attached screenshot. Note, that your price may be slightly different. In my case the app calculates some price deduction from loyalty points.
Edit: I did a search for DSCosmetic AX Ti in the taobao app, and just like in your case there aren't any results; at least none for a razor head. However, searching for the Chinese product name immediately yields the correct head as the first result and hundreds of other razors and shaving equipment from Yaqi, Mühle, Merkur, Parker, DSC, Henson, Fatip, Rockwell, Fendrihan, EJ, and Timeless...must....resist...temptation....
