I rather like this design idea and can appreciate the effort that went into both design and manufacturing of it. When viewing the base plate from these two angles it becomes clear that the design difference is not just in the top cap but rather also, and maybe more importantly so, in the base plate and how the open comb is angled up. Let's look at some stainless steel razors next to eachother:įrom left to right we have Tradere OC, Wolfman DC, TR OC, Weber SB and Blackland SB.
and this is where you have your second "oh that's interesting" realization - the base plate.
the biggest difference is when you view the razors from the side Here's the TR OC (left) next to my Apollo OC: This section is limited to the OC version I received - not the safety bar version.įully scalloped heads (not counting heads such as Grand King Shave razors where the top cap grooves goes fully through the top cap) is of course not a modern design idea as you find the design on quite a few vintage razor models by Kirby, Apollo, etc. When I saw the handles on their site they didn't do much for me but I will say that in person it looks significantly better. The lines on the top cap aligns perfectly with the open comb teeth and creates a very strong, beautiful visual. The first thing that strikes you is the head design that features a fully scalloped/fluted design. The razor I received is the Open Comb model with the scalloped top cap design. What you see here are my own thoughts on the razor and I think and believe I've spent enough on razors over the years to review this as if I had just spent $285 on it. There were no strings attached nor did Timeless Razor ask to see the review before it was posted.

This razor came to me as a free of charge review razor. With that out of the way let's take a closer look at the razor itself.Īs always I try to fully disclose how I acquired the razor I'm reviewing as for some people it matters and I can fully understand that. Availability: Currently (June 6, 2016) all razors are sold outīut, according to them the next batch will be ready for ordering already end of this week. Matt from Timeless Razor have already indicated that they will be diversifying their offerings going forward - longer/thicker handles, the ability to buy separate top/base plates, etc. (Handle alone is being sold on eBay for $60). OC razor head and handle ($285), with stand ($325) Safety bar razor head and handle ($185), with stand ($225), and That brings us to Timeless Razor that entered the wet shaving just a week ago (May 31st, 2016). It's for instance hard to throw a puck of soap these days and not hit a Mongoose-looking razor made out of stainless steel costing 100-200 dollars. With so many new introductions, that often have rather similar designs, it is becoming increasingly difficult for a company to stand out - and equally difficult for the consumer to figure out which razor(s) to spend some hard earned money on.Ĭompanies tend to differentiate their razor offerings by the key dimensions design, price and material but previously successful products will of course lead to others trying to replicate that success. The wet shaving space is getting more and more crowded with new, often stainless steel, offerings w/in DE, SE and injector razors pouring in from companies near and far.
