Just got my first shave it with my new Timeless Razor. I was hesitant to buy but figured since I shave daily and I wanted a stainless razor I should give it a try. I picked up a .68 gap open comb, smooth cap ( might buy the scalloped later but thought the scalloped cap with dimpled handle looked too busy), dimpled handle with stand, all polished. $280 sounded a bit steep for a razor but it is beautiful and excellent craftmanship. The blade lockup/position is perfect and tight. After the first stroke of the razor, I was totally over the cost, totally worth it. I can't see myself buying another razor again. Super smooth shave and in two passes it was a much closer and smoother shave than my Fatip piccolo. I had a hard time deciding between the .95 & .68, glad I went with the .68 but will probably pick up the .95 base at some point. If you are on the fence about spending almost $300 for a Timeless razor, pull the trigger totally worth it.
