Which to buy?

Timeless .95 with the pineapple handle or Edwin Jagger  316. What I look for in a razor is ( how smooth is it , efficiency  and no blade feel).

I have used a Timeless Ti 2 with a 0.95 gap and an EJ316, and for me the Timeless was significantly smoother but still very efficient.

I'm curious how it came down to a choice between these two razors. Timeless has a bulky head, but I enjoyed all 4 of mine when I owned them

A shot in the dark here, but maybe look at the Homelike Shaving Start razor? There's a long pass-around thread in the DE Razor forum, and there's a raffle/auction going on right now to purchase the pass-around razor set. Just a thought.

To real not to ask.  Why 'owned' as in past tense and where did you go from there? Inquiring minds, you know.

Between those 2 Timeless is significantly smoother IMO.

Timeless is just a looker and its exceptionally smooth - go for it and let us know which you get and how it works for you

After having tried countless razors, I’ve found none smoother than the Timeless.

Long story short:  After going through an addictive high-end audio phase, I swore to set strict budgets on any new hobbies.  Except I did it all wrong, IMO, at the beginning with shaving.  I arbitrarily decided no 3-piece DE for more than $100.  My thinking was all DE's come from the same few basic designs, so why pay through the nose for any?

Fast forward, I got over that limitation with a vengeance, grabbed 4 complete .68 Timeless polished SS setups (different handles, base plates, caps), fully blinged out with stands that I never ever use included.  I liked them just fine, until I realized about 10 months ago that I wasn't using them, at all.  Made the decision I'll only keep what I actually feel compelled to reach for.  Easily found homes for all of them (two of them to the same guy) without needing to sell online.  Again, nothing "wrong" with them, just not compelling, for me.

As for where I went from there...I'm still going.  I am currently trying to sort out what I want my stash to be.  I paid a decent "rental" price to try the Rex Ambassador for ~5 weeks, sold it recently.  I only have two razors right now (H&SCo. N075 and Rockwell 6S); I have a polished Blackland Vector ordered (likely won't ship for a while); I'll be buying the Tradere for sure, and I am keeping tabs on the H&SCo. P076, but really only interested in a Ti version.

O.k., long story not so short, hahahaha.
