These two razors are not close at all. They belong to two completely different classifications of DE razors, as defined by blade clamping. The Timeless is a rigid blade design, while the Rockwell is not. There are very fine examples of razors in both of these categories, including these two. But they aren’t at all alike.

I see what you mean, and can agree with that. I was hoping to convey the blade gap and the plane of the blade. Still, both razors have a similar feel to me in use. The Rockwell is a  little (and I do mean VERY little) more forgiving and I can whip it around mindlessly without fear of getting bitten. On the other side of the spectrum (for me at least) is the Charcoal Goods Lv2. It's more than happy to bite if I don't stay in the driver's seat, and it's not considered by many to be overly aggressive.
