Bronze Timeless

[Lann]

I have to say I really like the look of the new Bronze OC

The new open comb looks great. Baseplate only is $90 (which is all I need) but for just $40 more you get the complete razor. What to do?

The new bronze Open Comb looks fantastic - no question about it - and, it's fantastic value.

For me though, I still have this nagging doubt in my mind (based on previous experience of this metal) that it'll start to look like fecking poop after a few day's use...

Any Bronze SB long termers got any photos of the developing patina - hopefully to dispel my fears?

Looks pretty good although I’m not sure about the boxy baseplate. The base plate looks kinda chunky and I wish the corners were rounded a bit more. Still probably pick one up at some point.

Haven't tried the bronze Timeless, but if it's anyway near as good as the SS/Ti, I know I'll enjoy it!

Not bad @watchiekong - do you make a conscious effort to polish your Timeless? Cheers

Not really. Only the daily hand rinse parts under the tap after use.
However, unlike my ATT bronze which developed a natural 2 year patina, this Timeless has a forced sped up patina being dipped in liver of sulphur and then stored/exposed open in the bathroom environment (humid/airy).

Mine is in the mail, we'll see if it can compare with the 17-4

i also have the bronze . no patina so far. but i have to say that the baseplate is shorter than on mi timeless ti. so the bronze is pretty direct or more aggressiv for my feeling

I’m definitely picking one of these up. I like the way it’s aged in your pick.

Only my first use of the Bronze OC, this morning, but a very nice shave, indeed. I would say that this razor is a tad more efficient than even the SS 0.95 OC, but very slightly less smooth. The teeth have a very slight presence against the skin, unlike the SS, but never uncomfortable or concerning.
Tomorrow, I intend to use both razors, one for each side of my face and have an even better understanding of their comparative performance.

@Optometrist
I'm agree with you.
