I don’t think I can call any of the Timeless razors harsh. The Feather blade was a bit rougher with this base plate.

Reading somewhat between the lines – was the experience with the Feather blade harsh? Wondering if this base plate would be an answer in my quest for efficiency without harshness (which has so far been answered by one razor, the Blackbird). My Timeless Ti 0.68 is lacking the blade-feel that I prefer. The iKon 104 Tech has a little too much of it.

I’ve noticed that even though the Ti 0.68 is somewhat mild, a Feather blade does improve efficiency slightly, but can also add an element of harshness. I enjoy the Feather in most razors, but it sure is nice to have options.

I have the SS DC model and it has always been super smooth on the SB and OC sides.

Is it that you just find the Slim more aggressive than the standard .95, the reason for why you are not getting comfortable shaves?

It is more aggressive but I love aggressive razors. I am not used to a Timeless not being smooth. I own a ton of extremely high gap razors and I still find them to be smooth. Even my Rocnel 2019 Sailor is still smooth at higher gaps but extremely aggressive compared to my 2020 Sailor. I am shocked that I have yet to get a smooth shave from this new Timeless slim OC. It may just be the OC plate but I have some pretty aggressive OC razors as well that are still smooth.
