First shave with the Timeless 95 SB - Truly amazing

Bought a Timeless 95 SB razor a few days ago, but only got to try it today.
The razor is pretty heavy, and it feels big, but that's actually a positive thing on this razor. As soon as you grab it you realize that you are holding something special.
The quality of the machining and finishing is simply a piece of art.
Tried it this morning with Noble Otter Orbit and a new Nacet blade. My facial hair is super thick and coarse, and it feels like barbed wire sometimes. I have to shave everyday, otherwise I'll look like a hobo the next day.
The shave was totally effortless. I was amazed with just the first stroke. No tugging, no nicks, no cuts.
I usually struggle with most razors shaving my mustache area and my chin since my facial hair there is so thick that it becomes a challenge for most razors, even with the sharpest blades. Not for this razor though, it shaved like there was nothing there, with almost no blade feel.

This has now moved to my top three razors for sure:

Top three:

I shaved a fortune
Not that it matters all that much, but I believe that is a SCL... scalloped base plate... Lovely base plate.
