This really is a beautiful razor. First shave was smooth and "medium" efficient. It's certainly not as aggressive as the .95s that I have. It was easy to find a good angle and the face feel was nice. Since it takes several shaves to really understand a razor I'm going to shave with the Bronze all week. I'm also interested in how the patina will change; out of the box it has glorious golden shine. This is a beautiful well made razor in the Timeless tradition that is well balanced and gives a smooth comfortable shave. FYI, the stand is too tight for the Ti handle, which is the same design.
