I’ve had a couple more comparison shaves with the 0.90 and 0.69 plates, comparing them against Gamechanger 0.84 and 0.68 plates. I used a new Voskhod and a Tradere handle with them (whilst using the plastic washer that came with the Start in order to preserve the integrity of the baseplates).
In a nutshell, I found the 0.90 plate to be the most efficient but slightly less smooth than the GC 0.84 plate. The 0.69 plate is very mild (much more so than the GC 0.68 plate but is just as smooth). It feels milder than a Feather AS-D2 and is in the Wilkinson Sword Sticky realm of mildness.
I’ll compare the 0.90 plate to an ATT R1 and the OC plate to an ATT M2 and GC 0.84 OC in my next couple of shaves and will report back accordingly.

Mine has just arrived. I just went for the 0.90SB and additional 1.18SB plate. I knew the mildest plate and OC would not be for me.

Yesterday was an extremely long day at work. Got home very late and just was exhausted to do anything. And again, I’m heading out the door as I write this in a few minutes. But, I just wanted to give you Gents some feedback on what the shave was with the CT*PT razor & Timeless SS .95.
The razors performed absolutely flawlessly during my 3 pass shave yesterday morning. Both are smooth, efficient and amazing razors to handle. The Timeless has the finish of what a premium razor should have. Just a gorgeous mirror like polish and look that is second to none. Truly first class. The CT*PT is a notch or two lower to a Timeless in terms of finish, almost identical to a Razorock Gamechanger with it’s semi polished look. Still looks very good, just not a mirror polished like finish. After that though, it shaves every bit as good as the Timeless .95 and I believe it has a smoother face feel than the Timeless razor. The CT*PT with it’s .90 gap base plate matched the Timeless .95 in performance stroke for stroke. The Timeless does give one a bit more blade feel and the audible feedback is amazing while it’s doing its work. The CT*PT though has a lighter blade feel and a quieter sounding cutting sound. You still hear it cutting of course but, just a tad quieter than the Timeless. Using the CT*PT was very easy in attaining the angle and keeping it there at it’s optimal cutting line. Just a super smooth operator that wa just very easy to maneuver around ones face. With the .90 base plate I think it would be very difficult to nic or cut oneself during a shave. The Timeless because of it’s slightly more blade feel let’s one know that although it is smooth and efficient, one false move or lazy shave stroke and it can draw blood. Never got that feeling with the CT*PT.
They are both excellent performers. Love the looks of the Timeless and it has better knurling on the handle once things get slippery. The CT*PT‘s handle is smoother feeling and has a serrated handle that’s not as grippy as the Timeless. Not a big issue as the razor never slipped out of my hands even with soap covering it. But, nonetheless I felt more sure and confident with the Timeless in my hands.
More shaves to follow with both of these amazing performers. I will put the CT*PT down a couple of days and get it on with the Timeless as it’s on loan via a pass around from a generous B&B’er. But, I do look forward to putting the CT*PT through its paces, especially with the .90 OC plate & 1.18 SB plate. I’m looking forward to some very exciting shaves with the CT*PT in the near future. First shave in and I believe it to be a keeper for sure....

Quick question is the thread on the base plates the standard M5 thread?, not keen on the handle but might get the .90 SB plate and top cap.
I'm sure it as further back in the thread someone was using the Alpha handle on it...
