I’ve shaved with CG and Timeless and the CG shaves have been a little smoother and efficient. I will say though that the looks of a Timeless can’t be beat.
A Timeless .95 scb in polished SS was my first quality DE. I used it strictly for a few months and received many good shaves with it. Eventually I moved on to a blackbird, and the timeless couldn't keep up so I sold it. I received a CG lvl 2 in SS a few days ago and had my first shave this morning. It was very good! I need a few more shaves before I get a solid opinion. Compared to the timeless it was lighter and more maneuverable. For that reason, I had an easier time shaving XTG and ATG. Fit and finish is top tier as expected. The blade is not clamped as well as in the timeless, but that has never been an issue for me. Geometry of the head must make up for it somehow. Both beautiful razors! View attachment 1074810View attachment 1074813View attachment 1074811View attachment 1074812
I only have two shaves with the CG, but so far it is smoother and more maneuverable than the blackbird, but less efficient.how do you feel the blackbird shave differs from the lvl 2?
