    I use the ATT R2 and it is plenty aggressive. It is not just the gap that sets a razor's level of aggressiveness.

    That handle is sweet.

    Is there any shave difference between the scalloped or smooth bar? Thx

    I feel the scalloped glides on the face a little better the standard bar but they are both excellent shavers. One of my favorites.

    I have the scalloped 0.68 mm and the straight bar 0.95 mm so I cannot make a fair comparison, but both shave excellent. I will say as far as aesthetics, the scalloped cap looks great with the straight bar.

    Thanks. I like the scalloped top and straight bar look too. I've move from rationalizations and justifications to debating the options.

    Like that pineapple handle. Anyone feel its too long?

    Mine that you see in the photos is the dimpled which is the shorter 85 mm option. The pineapple is the longer 100 mm option. The only downside to Timeless, in my opinion, is the lack of handle options in the shorter version. I'd love to have the barber pole handle in 85 mm. For me, the shorter handle is perfect. It's a lot of cash to put down for a razor but it does shave great and it's just beautiful.

    I'm considering the options. The handles might he on the long side but just 15 mm difference so I'm not sure. I have the weekend to stew. No sense pulling the trigger when it won't ship over the weekend.

    I'm thinking scalloped top and straight bar...
