Will do, but I might have another one on the way also (DON'T ASK lol).

Don't ask. Sure. If there ever an invitation to ask, that's it.

So, another Timeless or something else?

And, great avatar BTW.

Timeless and a Paradigm?

Another Timeless that somebody was going to put on BST. We'll see if it works out.

I started with the 68 open comb and ended up adding the 95 as well. I prefer the 95 personally but I could use either and have zero issues.

Then I bought a paradigm too just cause...it’s the DFS way.

My razor rotation is currently

Timeless 95 OC
Paradigm 17-4
ATT se1

The se1 is tough to beat though...

I have a pretty extensive vintage Gillette collection too and the only vintage razor that comes close to these, IMO, is the RFB NEW.

Uh, how close?  

A RFB has been on my "Maybe" list for some time.

I would certainly get one. They’re not that expensive. Of them all I prefer the 3 pc #44 set.

Point me a direction. I have been looking with no luck.

You can post a WTB add or watch EBay in the us and England. They’re pretty common over there and most sellers will ship overseas

I've got the .95 scalloped oc with the barbershop handle and it is a terrific shaver. I had the pineapple handle at first and it was finicky finding the right angle, but with the shorter and yet still hefty barbershop handle, it's a well balanced performance machine. One of the few razors in my collection that is comfortable (I am trying to move away from using the "aggressive" word) yet highly efficient.
