I have the .78 and it is very aggressive. The finish is holding up well with nowhere near the patina that my Charcoal Goods brass razor has developed.Actually, the Timeless Bronze 0.38mm SB razor will surely surprise many people. Gap is not the only indicator as to aggressiveness or efficiency in a razor, exposure is a large factor as well, as is general head geometry. The 0.38mm SB is known to be surprisingly efficient for a mild gaped razor, due to its positive exposure. Also, because it has a thin head on it, I am hoping that it will be great for under the nose as well.
Timeless also makes a Timeless Bronze .078mm OC, but due to its positive exposure, along with that larger gap, its actually been known to be too aggressive for many folks. I already own razors that are crazy efficient and aggressive, I don't need another one. I am wanting a razor that can handle shorter whisker growth, and look good doing it, while also being made of quality.
The picture was just a quick grab from the internet, and I think its actually the 0.78mm razor, I just liked the picture because of the black background. So its not 100% accurate to what I will get, but close enough. I am also aware of how bronze tarnishes with a patina. Some folks like patina so much, they take it too far, and let the razor turn green, which I do not agree with that.
I am not a patina lover by any stretch of the imagination. I appreciate shinny bronze, and I intend to keep it that way. I will always clean it after use, and let dry on a towel. If I see the shiny begin to get dull, I will use a bronze polishing kit to keep it shinny. Hopefully this answers your questions. Now, if I can just get Timeless to ship out my razor order, that would be lovely. If it doesn't ship by Saturday, I will be contacting them to find out what gives.
What are you waiting on?

This is the first time I've been able to order a Varlet. In the past the brush always sold while I entered my info. Today, seven hours after receiving an email from them, two brushes were still available. Things sure have changed.
Not for anything you can touch, waiting for AZ Wet Shave Meetup in February, as last one was good, plus this one I will be picking up something I will show on getting. Last year I scored Free Coffee, Shop, after shave, and blade samples.
Curious about the wet shave meet up. What part of Az?
What are you waiting on?
- My bank account to recover from the crazy purchases I made in 2023, so I can BUY MORE shaving supplies!!!!
I found a place that still had 4 pucks of Mitchell’s Wool Fat tallow version at the normal price. Should arrive this week.

Why is `on` in the thread title ? Elsewhere in the post you use the preposition `for`?
I wait "on" things. I'm waiting for my <insert item> to show up.
In the posts I read, the meaning was clear even if not grammatically correct.
Feather Artist Club SR and ProGuard blades. I believe this will be my last razor purchase, so, I’m rather excited. I hope I don’t cut my nose off.
This is the right thread for this one. "Waiting" is the operative word.
I'm waiting on my wife, while waiting for:
- A Ti RR handle I bought from a member,
- A Stando handle from Poland.
As of an hour ago, I’m also waiting for a few cubes of Palmira from Serbia.

One of my other hobbies is custom keyboard. I'm waiting more than 2 years for a custom machined keyboard to be shipped
As far as shaving is considered - I am in it for the long haul... I'm waiting to be reborn in a country where I don't have to pay 45 to 75% duty depending on the mood of the customs officer
Curious where that is.where I don't have to pay 45 to 75% duty depending on the mood of the customs officer
India.

That post I made was some time ago, I now am lucky to own an even better razor.
I must admit, I have been going through a rough time in my life since then, a struggle for which most folks who have creature comforts, I no longer have such comforts, and I'm learning to do without, and find solutions to unique problems.
I love your username, because I think I am starting to learn, that the dream, is to find happiness in what you have, and to not wallow in sadness for which you don't have. You might struggle harder then some other's, but it is wise to realize, that because you do struggle, means you are a step ahead on the path to reaching that dream.
The problem I have, is sometimes I don't want to let go of what I once had. I think I am learning to find that balance, so I am able to accept what my life is now. Because only through acceptance of ones situation, can one be able to move on. In other words, you can get knocked down, but its important to get back up, and continue on the journey.
@Life Is A Dream starting with the first step.
Why are India's import duties so high? Is an attempt to force locals to shop locally made products?
