Did you use it already? Is it as smooth as the Timeless .68?
Haven't used it yet. I had already shaved today. I haven't gotten to my Timeless 0.68 SB yet either. I'll do a comparison tomorrow morning.

Cool, thank you
Which blade did you use? I am surprised you felt the need of 4 pass. It seems that those razors are not very efficient for your beard.

but the more efficient a razor is, the more aggressive it is most
I like the .68 very much and the .95 I do not use often. Sometimes I think the .68 would be a little better for me if it were a little lighter. Perhaps a shorter handle or the titanium one.
Very nice review of your first shaveSo i shaved with both the Paradigm Ti 2 and the Timeless SS 0.68 SB this morning, each on half my face. It was my first shave with either of the razors. However, in full disclosure 5 of my last 6 shaves have been with the Timeless SS 0.95 SB or 0.95 SCL. My first shave with the Timeless 0.95 SB a little over a week ago was not great but I have enjoyed the last 4 shaves with the SB and SCL.
Today I enjoyed both razors and both shaves. I did a 3 pass shave (WTG, XTG ear to nose, and ATG), but wish I had done a 4 pass for a BBS as I have a little stubble when running my hand nose to ear. However, I received minimal irritation (which is difficult for me) and only one weeper on the ATG. I found the Timeless SS 0.68 SB to be smoother and more efficient. I had almost not blade feel on the Timeless and felt that they first pass mowed down more of my 1 day growth. There was significant stubble still remaining after the first pass of the Paradigm Ti 2. The Paradigm also had significant blade feel. More like the Timeless SS 0.95, maybe a little bit more. I liked the weight of the Timeless SS 0.68 however, the Ti of the Paradigm was extremely maneuverable. Now again to be fair, this is my first shave with a Paradigm and I may experience a learning curve as I did with the Timeless. I enjoyed both and will continue to use both through some rotation, although more likely week to week than switching up each shave. However, if you forced me to decide today, I would say I could be happy with the Timeless SS 0.68 SB and the Timeless SS 0.95 SCL. However, my opinion may change with additional time with each razor and of course YMMV.
I am very excited to have both razors and will be holding on to both for a while. They are different shaves, but I can enjoy both of them. I have been upgrading my shave gear recently and have some other nice razors to work through. We'll see what sticks and if anything ends up on the B/S/T in a couple of months. I am no professional reviewer and others here give much better reviews, but I hope my experience helps. Thanks.
If you are looking for a lighter razor with more blade feel then the Paradigm might be exactly what you are looking for.
