![]() ![]() The mass and glide of the bronze contribute to the sensation of a smooth shave in collaboration with the sharp blade. The shave is easy and intuitive, requires no learning curve at all and it's quiet. Shave Report #1: Timeless Bronze, Perma-Sharp Super, Simpson Chubby 1 Supper, Fat 'as soap, warm shower and cool shave water.įirst impression is that it shaves a bit like the Rockwell 6S on plate #2. Oh yeah, I think this is gonna' be a winner. Forgiving blade exposure, wide cap span, narrow guard span, narrow (read easy to locate successfully) safety bar and sharp blade equals 'fast'. In rounding out this observation I'll relate it back to observation. Again, a design theme reminiscent of the Rockwell 6S in that performance doesn't rely on your ability to find the angle, the razor does much of the work for you. Imagine if you will that a small amount of pressure will correctly locate your skin to the blade edge even if you approach is too steep because the narrow safety bar will prompt your skin to flex into the correct position. One, with lowish blade exposure this razor will be better served by a sharper blade and two, finding the shaving angle is largely redundant because of the very narrow safety bar. Two things spring immediately to mind with this configuration. ![]() In fact, the only major differences I see are that the blade is better supported and the safety bar is quite a bit narrower being more like a rounded corner rather than a surface, per se. With a large cap span, moderately high blade angle and very narrow guard span this is definitely a design reminiscent of the Rockwell 6S concept. For reference the Rockwell #1 plate has roughly the same blade gap and it's too mild even for me.Īfter viewing the guard-blade-cap geometry for myself yesterday my suspicion was largely confirmed. I'm a big believer that blade gap is a poor measure of performance and that the advertised 0.38mm blade gap was largely meaningless other than to suggest it would favour someone with a preference for milder razors, unlike the rest of their offerings. My suspicion was that this razor was not only quite a departure from what Timeless had done before, but it was also a move to a Rockwell style guard-blade-cap geometry which makes for a very forgiving razor. While several members here tried to get me some photos to enhance my understanding of the configuration, ultimately none were able to confirm my suspicion. I think.Īfter reading a few of the reviews and in particular remarks about this razor being 'fast' I already had a good idea of how this razor was going to perform as we share an affinity for the same razors it seems. 68 SB, Feather AS-D2, Rockwell 6S, Gillette 1972 English Tech, Gillette NEW LC from a no.44 set. The Bronze is now the sixth razor I own, it's stablemates include a Timeless SS. So, what will follow is a few days of shaving and reports followed by a detailed look at the configuration of the razor head to understand why it performs as it does.
