The Bronze .38 is fantastic. I'm looking at the .78OC bronze down the road somewhere. I have heard that is their most aggressive razor. Which kind of doesn't surprise me as I find that the Bronze .38 is probably the most aggressive one of the three Timeless that I own now. It seems to have more blade feel than the SSSlim and even my Ti .950C. At least that's what I remember, it has been a while since I used the Bronze.
I love the 38. I had the 78OC - either I am not manly enough or not skilled enough to handle her.... SOLD HER.... Absolutely aggressive. I found it had more bite than a muhle R41. The 78OC was a mako shark to me.

I have heard it is their most aggressive. More bite than a R41 makes me think because I had one and sold it. I found the R41 harsh from what I remember.

Interesting. A few folks in agreement. I like aggressive but not harsh.

Yes. I am with you a 100%. A few years back i got into a Macho shave off with that mako shark, and we both caved, and we both sold them. A razor for Rambo.

I am retired and only shave every other day. This allows me to go slow and not feel rushed. I tend to favor more efficient/aggressive razors. That being said I really enjoy my R41 and R41GS. My Timeless .78 OC bronze is a step up from my R41s in efficiency/aggressiveness with only my Sterling HA matching its efficiency yet surpassing it in aggressiveness and harshness.

The longer I’m at this smoothness has become more important to me. My technique has probably improved to the point where less efficient/aggressive razors are producing very close shaves, so I don’t have to sacrifice smoothness for efficiency. It has given my Timeless .95 OC stainless and Ti new meaning in what defines enjoyable razors to use.

I definitely like the combination of smoothness and efficiency or aggressiveness. Something that is very mild with no Blade feel it's something I definitely don't like. I do like some feel to let me know I'm shaving, but definitely I do not enjoy harsh. And my Timeless TI 0.95 OC redefines smoothness. With the blade gap and the open comb I expected it to be on the aggressive side. While it is certainly efficient, is about as smooth as smooth gets.

I had a Timeless bronze and sold it.
It was just heavy and a mess for my sweet face.
While ago, bought a Ti 95 head from the parts section, screwed a Russian Ti handle on it and found that to be too aggressive for me also.

After reading this from Mr Vey, I bought a 68 Ti plate.
I’ll report once I’ve had a shave with it.
I’d have to say that the packaging and shipping from Timeless was as fast as anything I’ve ever bought online!
Good on ya, Timeless!

I also just had a great experience with them. I haven’t bought anything from them yet, but that will change soon.

Although I didn’t receive the answer I wanted (whether they could make their crown handle in stainless - not at this time), my email was responded to in just SIX MINUTES on a Saturday morning! Definitely the kind of customer service I can get behind!! I’ll be happy to support their company in the near future.
