Excellent review,sir. I truly appreciate honest reviews and yours was educational and a good read overall.I've had 3 more shaves with the 0.95 since my last report.
First one was a shave off with my 2-piece RFB. I can report that the shave off was a virtual tie in both smoothness, efficiency, and joy. If you know the RFB that I'm using, you'll know that the weight differential between it and a stainless Timeless razor is substantial. However, if you're able to adjust for this, the results are remarkably similar.
The second shave was my Saturday shave. On Saturdays, I go for a 3-pass shave and try to get as close as possible, knowing that I'll likely not shave again until Monday. I will admit to being a little disappointed by the Timeless in this regard. While I got a great shave that was comfortable and close - basically BBS - I didn't find it to be especially outstanding in comparison to other razors that I own. I was hoping that the 0.95 would be a smoother version of my most efficient razors. While I have no complaints about the shave I got, I'm not sure that the 0.95 is sufficiently different than some of my other razors to put it to the top of my "to-buy" list.
My last shave was this morning. With two days' growth, the Timeless was able to quickly and cleanly mow down my beard. Yet another enjoyable shave.
I highly recommend the Timeless to anyone looking for a mild to medium-efficiency razor. It is extremely smooth and a joy to use. Having said that, I haven't found the niche that makes me want to rush out and buy another one.
Thanks again @P@tsfan6484 for the opportunity to try the Timeless 0.95. I'll be sending the set off to @ShavePastor tomorrow.

Congrats!!! Enjoy your new den member!Happy New Year's to me as my new .95 scalloped base and top cap arrived yesterday.
Man I’m tempted to get one of these after reading this thread.
Stuck between deciding the .68 and .95. Since I like the 6s on 5, .84 GC, Rex on 2ish, Fatboy on 5, Karve B, ATTr1, and generally prefer a smooth efficient razors:
.68 seems to be where I should start, anyone try some of the above and both timeless plates? what do you gents say?
