Hi @StratMan - I own both Bronze versions but sadly I'm yet to try any of the other SS/Titanium versions As for the OC, due to the design of the teeth on the comb it tends to have distinct blade feel akin to shaving with the R41. I prefer the SB for 'daily' use and would only use the OC on a few days growth as it's just a tad too much bite for my face.no ones got the bronze?
I own the 6S and love the ease and smooth shaves it provides me, especially on the R4 plate but R5 & R6 shave very similarily. I find the Bronze shares the weight of the 6S but my major criticism would be the finish can easily stain if you don't clean it properly, especially under the cap around the posts.Hi @Razor Burn thanks for you reply. Unfortunately i have not yet shaved with a R41 so dont know what that would feel like. Have you shaved with a rockwell 6C/6S? if so how do both bronze's compare?
@Razor Burn you got me thinking now. I love the timeless and their quality and I guess the reason i was going for the bronze timeless instead of the 0.95 OC plate was because i could basically get a whole razor for around the price the SS plate would cost.
but now you mentioned the karve OC (i forgot they made one) i had a look on their site and to me it looks amazing. I also got the chance to shave with a Karve in the pass-around thanks to @Nico. I remember really loving the look and feel of this razor and if not for the wolfie in the pass-around i would of got one for sure. my only gripe with that was i found the D plate quite mild which can be easily fixed with a plate change.
considering the price and exchange rate of CAD, will go for a karve.. only question is what plate should i get with the OC
I am also wondering if the D plate was enough but i may of been shaving wrong with it?
Hard choices mate but whatever you decide I'm sure you'll have many a happy shave! The Bronze OC shaves great with blade feel but not too much that it provides a harsh shave. Sadly I've only tried the Karve on the SB D plate which for me is a closer shave than the 6S on R6 plate. A super smooth efficient DE and I look forward to trying an OC plate later on. It also polishes up very nice, not of the level of the Bronze but still nice@Razor Burn you got me thinking now.

I’ve got both of those and I still recommend you go for the Timeless Bronze OC. Both good razors but not in same league as the Timeless.researching forums to find what your after just seems to make things worse.. if I wasn’t confused already I am also considering a r41 and a fatip piccolo

Ah good old RAD! Being a member of P&C doesn't help as the more you read the reviews/SOTD posts, the more you want to try the latest new shinny thing... If the .95 SB gives you super smooth, comfortable, efficient shaves than no point getting the Bronze and saving your hard earned cash instead ... I just wish I followed this when I started out...researching forums to find what your after just seems to make things worse.. if I wasn’t confused already I am also considering a r41 and a fatip piccolo
I think i get one it may be this. Had a shave with the timeless 0.95 SB this morning and it got rid of 3 days growth (considerable for me) with absolute ease. Not even sure why i am still looking for a razor lol either way if i do will prob be the bronze timeless, the quality of the 0.95 is amazing as would be the bronze
What blade did you have in it? I had a feather in the 0.95 titanium SB and thought it was a little too harsh and switched back to the 0.68 SB for the ATG finish. That was for a daily shave.
I'm finding the Astra's a good fit and easily available but they're not quite as thin or stainless as the Feather. Polsilver's & Kai's are not readily available. Wouldn't mind trying the Brass so appreciate the reviews.
