Mine is ordered, so there will definitely be something new soon. I didn't want to miss out on the plaid handle discount. The speculation I've heard points to the new razor being a single edge; maybe a GEM. Some are hoping for a less expensive option, like ATT's Calypso, or Wolfman's Guerilla. If it is either of those, I won't regret my purchase.
Pat - First off I really don't think you will regret your purchase. What baseplate gap did your go with? And the plad is a nice handle and who knows it may be in demand in the future since they're discontinuing it. I'ts almost like the Barber Pole handle which I have on one of mine and I prefer it over my pineapple as far as performance. In my conversations with Matt SE has come up as well as other metals such as Brass, Titanium etc. and other accessories have come up in our last conversation. Who knows what's next from Timeless but I'm pretty sure whatever they come out next or in the future will be top quality. They take great pride in their work and work as a family. I like that.
