Congrats on getting the Timeless .68 Oc. Terrific razor. Hope you have many GREAT shaves with it!!
ps— Timeless is in another league when compared to the Rockwell 6S, speaking from experience.
Another league indeed! I get the love for the Rockwell, but it may not be for me. As many of you have said here, I'm pretty sure my beard requires an open comb.
My best shave yet was with my new-to-me Timeless .68 OC. The combination of an open comb with a Nacet blade made all the difference in the world. Two passes and clean-up and I had a DFS with minimal irritation. Now, I was shaving off 11 days of growth (I know), but that was hands down my best shave yet. I wonder if the .95 open comb wouldn't have been an even better choice? I'd like even more hair to be removed on that first past. Efficiency without aggression, that sounds good (is that thing??) Fortunately, I have a .84 Game Changer OC on the way to try. I've read all good things about that razor. That might be perfect for tackling 7-10 days of growth. I don't typically want to go that long between shaves, but sometimes it happens.
With my skin and beard, I'm not ever going to be a "daily driver" but I'd like to make the commute more than once a week. It seems that perhaps sharper blades and an efficient razor are the way to go. More experimenting to come!
