I love my .95 every 2 to 3 days. I can use the .68 daily if necessary. Mines the Titanium version. Works better on my sensitive skin. Yours is a good looking razor!

Is there a lot of extra effort to shave with the .68 daily( more than 3 passes)?
The .68 is an excellent razor: in my top tier. Because of the nature of my beard (the grain of my beard changes directions every inch or so), I need to do a 4-pass shave to get a good shave. The Timeless .68 makes that easy.
I don't find it much different from .95. It is a bit smoother and a bit less efficient. DFS is easily with 2 passes. BBS anywhere between 2 and 4 passes depending on blade, technique and precise feeling you want to achieve. For a daily driver I would do .68 without a doubt. Now, what exact shape SB, Scalloped or OC? I have SB, and Scalloped, but like Scalloped for the looks. OC is on my way and will test it in two or so weeks.
Steve, do you ever bother searching for the topic before you start a new thread?
Have you ever thought that there might be the same topic already open with the information readily available in it?
You should!

Thank you Jim. I'm afraid that the.95 would be too aggressive for a daily driver?? The .68 should be just right. A few members said the .95 is smooth and you don't really feel the blade....Confused!! I have the Blackland Dart and it's medium in efficiency and blade feel is there. I make three passes and a clean up...might as well be four. What to do?
You are right. For a daily driver, the .68 would probably suffice. If I need an aggressive I can use my Muhle R41 or Dart. Just want one GREAT razor and that's IT. Thank you for the informative reply. Frank M.

I found the oc bronze to be way way to aggressive for me. The closed comb is nice. The oc 68 ss is my absolute top favorite go to for every day.

Most reviews I've read puts the Dart at mid aggressive which would be closer to the .95 plate.
I think there is significantly more blade feel with the Dart than with the Timeless 95.

The dart i s more aggressive than the 68 oc
i had some beginner s luck with the dart and wondered why folks felt it was more aggressive but it is.

Thank you for that info.
My Timeless razors get a solid rinse and wipe down after every shave but you’re right those teeth have a lot of areas for soap to find and live. On the OC comb I find a toothbrush and hot water is all it needs weekly. Only take 20 seconds so not a big deal. Just important to stay on top of it.
The rinse channels are very unique to timeless and harder to clean. I don’t have an ultra sonic cleaner but have had great success with soapy water and pipe cleaners when cleaning out the rinse channels! I do that every 2-3 weeks. Again, only take 20-30 seconds. I’m a guy who doesn’t fret about germs, but I want my razors always to be looking their absolute best.
Just yesterday I picked up a pkg of these to see if they would work for either of my Timeless razors. I found the "Wide" version which has the bluish green handle is great for the OC version to clean between the teeth of the comb and although it did a pretty good job on the rinse channels, I think it needs to be a little bigger diameter to clean them more thoroughly. When you put the brush in the channel and spin it you can see it cleaning as it turns the soap film into a dust and removes it. I've yet to try it out with some alcohol but I think that will help. I have been looking into pipe cleaners and small brushes. I've only done a dry run with these and it went pretty good but as I said, if it was bigger it would be better...

These actually work great for getting into hard-to-reach spots for anything!
