What is this thing "two or more days of growth "...I can rock the Slim OC plate with two or more days growth. But, the .95 OC makes a great daily driver.

Timeless Slim 0.5 Open Comb
Of course YMMV, but those two in the middle should provide the “aggressiveness and efficiency” you are striving for.This has really piqued my curiosity!
Question: Having never experienced and open-comb, does the slim/mild blade gap of .5 mm, plus the geometry of the open-comb, then provide an aggressive shave?
The reason I ask is because I'm intrigued by Timeless, but note blade gaps (I think) only go up to .95. I'm pretty sure I'd want something a bit more aggressive and curious if the OC feature adds that aggressiveness?
Scalloped OC? What blade gaps do you suggest?Of course YMMV, but those two in the middle should provide the “aggressiveness and efficiency” you are striving for.
The bronze .78mm is an Open comb bar with scalloped cap. Please don’t let the .78 fool you, it is all the aggressiveness you could need, (IMHO).Scalloped OC? What blade gaps do you suggest?
Thanks- I'm seriously considering a Timeless and it's a bit of a challenge trying to determine specs/choices. For example, my current razor (Yates 921H) has a blade gap of 1.05 mm with a solid bar. I realize that going down in blade gap (e.g. .68 mm) and introducing the open comb, may (possibly?) make a razor more aggressive than going up in blade gap with the solid bar (1.05 to 1.15 let's say). I don't want to derail the Timeless thread, so I may start a separate thread on this topic.The bronze .78mm is an Open comb bar with scalloped cap.

The other little guy next to the bronze is the Timeless Ti, (also comes in SS), .5mm slim. Probably the most efficient razor in my current rotation. My version is also Open comb bar with scalloped cap.
Timeless has a very educational website as well for you to visit. It may help you determine the best fit for your face. They also pick up the phone over there so you can ask Matt, (one of the owners) for some advice as well.
How do you, personally, define aggressiveness?This has really piqued my curiosity!
