![]() It felt it was like running a polished stainless steel wheel along my face. Between the top cap and the baseplate, the razor glided smoothly and effortlessly, incredibly smooth on my face. When comparing baseplates to my other razors, it was about twice as thick as other baseplates that I’m familiar with. While shaving, I was hoping to see the used lather traveling through the channel and out the bottom but much to my dismay, the bottom of the baseplate catches a lot of excess lather before the blade can get to it. None of the lathers I used had issues clogging the channels, in fact, I enjoyed trying to clog them, but it seemed to only be affected with long growth (see below). ![]() Now I didn’t use anything like a shave butter or shave gel, so I’m not going to say it’s impossible to clog, but if you’re forking out the cash for one of these I imagine you are past those products. It is so incredibly unique in design and features the biggest channels I’ve seen to rinse it out. The baseplate, I feel, is one of Timeless’s defining features. I wouldn’t consider it a flaw but a minor inconvenience, extremely minor for me when blade changes happen about twice a year. I know there’s controversy whether side tabs should be exposed and I’ll admit, I would like to see the tabs exposed a bit more because it’s tricky finding a good method to release a blade that won’t come free from an upside-down top cap. The top cap covers the majority of the side-tabs. I’ve dealt with high-tolerance pins where the blade won’t wiggle, but in this top cap the blade won't engage with the pins unless you apply a gentle force, securing the blade to the top cap. The top cap has wide and narrow locator pins for the blade ensuring a perfectly squared-up hold. This may or may not be influenced by my love of pineapple on pizza. I’m a big fan of this handle all around, it is very attractive and functional, and probably my favorite of their offerings. That said, it is easy to lose grip of it when it gets slippery, say from cleaning it. The pattern engraved along with the variable profile of the handle gives it just enough grip during the shave. The handle is long and heavy (95g), similar to the Colossus handle, but it is far smoother and feels more ergonomic. The top-cap is titanium SS while the other two components are SS (my assumption here). This razor came with the pineapple handle with the 0.68 gap scalloped baseplate with matching top-cap. At approximately $250, this would be without a doubt the priciest object in my wetshaving collection, the closest thing I have to it is my Colossus ATT with the R1 (0.58 gap) baseplate. So after a handful of shaves under various conditions I have compiled my initial thoughts. I've never reviewed anything, you've been warned. He refunded a penny from my unsuccessful penny trick, that’s how much he didn’t want compensation. The terms of his offer was that I simply write up a review about it, no payment, no anything. The fact they use a wire EDM caught my attention since I had brief experience with one such machine in the medical device sector early in college. U/Ythin graciously let me borrow his daily driver newly acquired gift after I posted an innocent response about how I was really impressed with them after meeting the guys at Maggard’s this summer. ![]() Timeless offers their razors in titanium, stainless steel, bronze, and aluminum and allows you to customize them how you see fit. They employ specialized machines such as wire EDM to cut their baseplates and top-caps, along with more traditional machining equipment to manufacture their handles. Timeless razors is a premium razor manufacturer based out of Northeast Ohio where they use high-precision equipment to produce high-end razors.
