Timeless razor .95 skin#

A 2 pass affair that left nothing behind on both neck and face. I have no doubt that the open comb version will just ramp that blade feel up ever so slightly to give even some more feel to those that prefer more blade feel on their skin.

The shortness/depth of the guard just brings the blade on the Slim a bit closer to one’s skin that is actually quite good without being intimidating. 95 yet not as bitey or blade forward as the venerable Blackbird. You don’t get much of the safety bar or the top cap but, you’re greeted with a nice blade feel that is somewhat tempered from the smoothness of the polished stainless. I think the smaller width of the safety bar is a big reason for the quick feel in more blade with less room for backing off. Has a bit of a window for a slight adjustment in angle but, not as much as it’s older brethren in the. A bump in blade feel without being harsh or aggressive feeling at all. Performance was excellent on the cutting side. For some this might not be an issue, for others it is something to keep in mind. Not the razors fault in design, just me not taking into account that overall feel can be thrown off. But, I will definitely be acquiring one of their other offerings in the 85mm size as I think that would help in creating better balance and feel. No biggie as one can just adjust their grip and position on the handle and be quite fine. Great handle but, a bit to long for this slim head configuration as it throws off feel & balance for me just a wee bit. I enjoy using longer handles as this one is equipped with the 100mm Pineapple version. In there is where I find a bit of an adjustment is needed.

One thing I will say is the profile is thin & sleek and not as head heavy as the OG versions in either. Installed a twice used KAI SS blade and went to work on 24 hrs. Onto the shave and it was a pleasing eye opener. It’s what is expected of a premium razor for a premium price. Impeccable attention to details with presentation that is 2nd to none. For Timeless owners that own one or multiple versions, it’s a given on the excellent quality of workmanship & super tight tolerances that this razor artisan brings to the table. I was surprised and yet quite delighted with it’s performance.
