Timeless razor scratch and dent skin#

So, I jump over to their site and to my shock, I see they are located about ~45 minutes from me - this could get me into trouble, LOL. Lo and behold I see Timeless mentioned as a high end shaving tool. So, just browsing the boards, not really in the market for a new razor as I'm totally content with my cheapy EJ DE89. But it is a fine razor that I do so recommend.

Considering how much I paid for my razor, I didn't want to spend more money on extra base plates. Configuration options are available from Timeless, if you want to go open comb instead of standard bar. If your shaving a weeks worth of growth, its recommended that you get an efficient open comb razor instead of a standard bar. If one wants an everyday shaving razor, consider a razor with a. Having said that however, I do find this razor to be incredibly efficient, and smooth! IMO, the gap is too large however to consider this an everyday shaver, its much too aggressive for that, and I reserve it for 2 to 3 day whisker shaves only.

Additionally, as I had discovered, this razor is also an excellent potato peeler, it will remove a layer of skin if your not careful.Īs I am somebody who chases after that BBS at all times, I learned some new things with this razor, and this razor forced me to improve upon my technique. If you apply any pressure whatsoever, the large gap and positive exposure, will give you weepers before the shave is over. 95 gap and positive exposure, well, this razor is not messing around!īut please note, as I had to learn myself, this razor requires excellent technique, so if your somebody who is still a beginner to traditional wet shaving, and you haven't learned proper technique, then this razor is not for you. Despite being a standard bar and not open comb, I found that the TI95, is capable of providing me a 2 to 3 day whisker shave no problem. What sets the Timeless TI95 razor apart for me, is its just as efficient as my Rex Ambassador, but its also a smooth shaver as well. Having said that however, it provided some rough shaves too, I guess thats what I get for bringing T-Rex to my face lol. I can tell you right now, the Rex was most certainly efficient, especially since its an adjustable. Previous to getting this razor, I was using a stainless steel Rex Ambassador razor. And I can tell you right now, there's nothing like the feel of titanium alloy on your face, its hard to describe, which is why other's need to experience it for themselves.

So it sounds like the SB (Solid Bar) is the least aggressive, and then the SCL (Scalloped) and then the OC (Open Comb) is the most aggressive.Īnyway, I don't even want to visit this place as the razor they recommend for me is almost $300, and I know if I walk into this place, I'll probably leave with a lighter wallet, LOL.The Timeless TI95, is my only truly high end razor. OC is for 3-5 days growth and or thick coarse hair. Which plate depends on how often you shave and the type of hair growth you have. You can stop by whenever you prefer just call me to let me know and I’ll have some things ready for you. So I shot out an email explaining that I'm looking for something comparable in shaving characteristics to my DE89, and to see if they had a storefront, and while they don't, they mentioned I could stop in and look at some of their offerings We don’t have a store front but we have people come into the factory office all the time.
