My new timeless razor arrived yesterday. What a sweet looking razor.
This morning was my first shave with it.
It is the solid steel version with a .95 blade gap, solid bar and polished.
My favorite razor has been the Windsor R by ATT. And I was nervous about this new blade gap being too big, too aggressive. But I have to say, the shave this morning was incredible. And it's only my first with this new razor.
The razor is built like a tank. It's relatively heavy but feels fantastic in the hand. And the smoothness on my face was just beyond belief. It does not feel like it has much blade feel to it at all. It was super smooth. Even going against the grain on my upper lip was a real treat. Smooth as silk.
There is no chatter of the blade with this razor. It's rock solid.
Did I mention that this feels smooth, buttery smooth. I'm just stunned. I really was worried about the blade gap and almost bought the .68. I'm very glad I took Matt's advice and went with the .95 blade gap.
It's a bit more efficient than the ATT Windsor R. I got a closer shave right out of the gate. But it actually feels smoother with hardly any blade feel.
My suspicion is this will be my favorite. I will give it a few more shaves to make the determination. But I am very happy with this purchase, that's for sure.
