I love my Blackbird SB but usually only use it when I've got 3-4 days growth but nothing I've tried gives me a longer-lasting or closer shave. I really enjoyed the Carbon but get just as good a shave if not better from the Yates Precision and it's quite a bit less expensive. Like you, I have not tried the Timeless. Like MaxP said it's your face and your $ and many of us will have varying experiences with each of these razors.
My fault for wandering off Shaver_Brian's question, of course, and bringing in the P076, which is an entirely different kind of razor than the N075, about which he asked (which, itself, is a different razor than some others, it being solidly in the smooth-razor-that-gives-a-great-shave-with-a-sharp (heck, any) blade. Having said that, the P076 seems to get more varied responses than the N075 and I've seen that reactions often seem to depend on which metal. I couldn't use the 17-4 at all -- had an absolutely terrible time during the pass-around. Yet, some folks love it. The P076 Titanium was good for me, but didn't wow me. Again, others love it (it's one blogger's "goat"). More blade feel than I like (though less than, say, an R41 or Blackbird). However, the P076 in copper is what wowed me. Soft and smooth and efficient; I can use it as a daily razor if I want (I know a few folks use the Blackbird daily which, based on my experience, I can't fathom, but razors are so very personal in how people's mileage varies). I'm about to try the Carbon and will certainly try the Yates, but would like to get it in polished, which isn't available now.
I wonder why the copper so different with the same head geometry and approx same weight as the 17-4? Might have to try it myself to see.
