The Timeless (.095) and Blackbird both arrived in my den last week and I've had a chance to try them both twice with a Polsilver blade
Both razors are extremely high quality and feature perfect machining.
The Timeless is a bit more aggressive than I was expecting, but not too bad. It's a big beast of a razor and I love the unique look. I feel like I could break a window out with this thing. Lots of weight, but still nicely balanced.
The Blackbird has a much different character. It's feels like it's built for speed and has that exotic sports car vibe going. It took me a minute to find the correct cutting angle (shallow is where it like to be). There is a bit of a learning curve with this guy, but holy cats, it gave me perhaps the best shave of my life. Perfect.
The better shave experience...? so far it's the Blackbird for me... but again, I only have 2 shaves with each and they are both quite different!
