Last week I posted about how I received a Timeless 0.68 by mistake. It was engraved as a 0.95 and I was astounded by how mild it was! I mentioned, though, that it was not as efficient as I expected.
I shaved with it yesterday. Today I shaved with my ATT M1, which has a 0.25 blade gap. I used the same Astra blade for both shaves though the shave cream was different. (TOBS Avocado yesterday, Castle Forbes Lime today).
For what it's worth, the Timeless has far less blade feel! I'm amazed. The ATT is a bit more efficient. Now, I love my ATTs and I collected quite a few over the years. But if I had to pick the Timeless .68 or the ATT M1 as a daily driver, the Timeless would get the nod. The comfort is outstanding. And whereas my upper lip--a problem area--is still a bit sore from the ATT, the Timeless shave was irritation-free. I might well end up keeping this razor.
Bottom line: With no criticism intended of ATT, Timeless has made one amazing razor.
