Well, after receiving a reasonable tax refund and reflecting upon the fact that I am only a couple of weeks away from my 55th birthday, I decided that it was time to pull the trigger on the Timeless I have been eyeballing for the past few years. Thanks to all y’all for your smarts, expertise, and enabling tendencies. I ordered the titanium matte with .68 SB and Crown handle.

Great razor! It’s shaves close but is mild enough for daily use. Which top cap did you go with?
Happy early Birthday!

Congratulations on your new razor and Happy Birthday.
I have that exact razor. You have made a wise choice.
Congrats! Timeless razors, especially their Ti models, are amazing. I bet you’re going to love it. They exude quality and craftsmanship.
Excellent choice, congratulations. May you have many years of wonderful shaves. And Happy Birthday!!!!
A well deserve bday gift and may you have many returns of the day!
Curios myself, is there a significant difference between SB and SCL base and top caps combinations?
OC without a doubt just by looking how fierce the design is will definitely give a closer shave.
Grats on your new acquisition.

Hey all, I just noticed earlier tonight that I missed all of your comments. I didn't have my notifications set up properly, and I apologize! I went through quite the Timeless odyssey since my original post. I tried the .68SB, .68OC, .95SB, and Slim plates, and have pretty decisively settled on the .95SB. Needless to say, I have exceeded my tax-refund budget at this point, but oh well. The Slim is going back to Timeless tomorrow (still in the return window), and I am working with a fellow B&B member on a "try it before you buy it" arrangement with respect to the .68 plates. It is such an amazing razor.
Personally, I settled on the OC plates as my preferred configuration, regardless of whisker growth. I found them to be smoother and more forgiving than the SB or scalloped plates.
I always enjoy reading the opinions of others though and would like to hear more about how you settled on the .95 SB.

I finalized on OC base plates as well, but I have to say.... the scalloped base plate provided an excellent shave and left trails of lather behind with each stroke, similar to the OC base plates. The 0.68OC is all I need, though I'm sure I could make the 0.95OC work for me. I haven't felt the need for more efficiency.
I do find it interesting..... razor design... The Timeless 0.68OC, the Wolfman WR2 0.95 and the Blutt BR-1 1.20... all shave similar for me. Then you have the Athena.... hardly any blade gap and exposure.... Same excellent shaves. There's much more to a razor's design than its specs, that's for sure.

This thread needs some pics fellas!
That's better! There are so many razors out there, I just don't know them all, so it's nice to pics.
Beautiful razor too!
Thanks!
