Timeless tabs

I have some issue, maybe with exposed tabs.

I have a Timeless 0.38 with low exposure and small gap, but exposed tabs.

Every time I use it, I get a great shave without irritation, but I slice myself at least once. I don’t with other razors.

Is it the tabs? They shouldn’t be that sharp, or less protection at the corner? This is my current theory.

I did also note that compared to my other razors the timeless safety bar, straight on this one, is far less pronounced and the blade edge is closer to the bar edge. The others the blade edge is noticeably further back.

This could be a feature that allows a close efficient shave even with the low exposure and gap, but maybe not meshing with my poor coordination?

I am afraid to try the 0.78 plate I have…

Any thoughts?

I have the 38 and sold the 78. The other shaving blog I used to frequent - we called the 78 the Beast. It is a blood maker. I thought the shaves were dangerous. Manifest is the lack of shavers that use this razor. I really enjoy my 38. I find it spectacular for close easy shaving. The tab problem piques my curiosity. I have never nicked myself with the 38. I made human sacrifices with the 78 tho.

Thanks!

After prolonged and rigorous scientific experimentation (I shaved this morning), I have determined that the problem is entirely operator error. I am completely at fault and can’t legitimately try and blame my razor anymore, dang it.

How did I arrive at this earth shattering and completely unexpected conclusion? You guessed it, I cut myself in exactly the same way and same place with an entirely different razor.

The cuts are really pretty small and inconsequential really, it is the principle. That, and I must be developing a bad handling habit in that spot of my head shave.

Outside of that both shaves were remarkably good and non-irritating.

First was Timeless Brass 0.38sb with a new Timor blade.

Second was DCcosmetics v95 with a second shave Astor.

Whew. Too nice a razor to not keep. Love that little bronze beauty.
