I have yet to find a razor with neutral or negative blade exposure that I like. They have all struggled to get a BBS around the chin area
I don't know if this one will be any different but I'm still curious.

How do you get it to go beyond the settings on the dial?

 

[jimthecamera]

just keep on twisting dial beyond mark-6- until it comes again to no 1 and then no 2 which we will call 7 and 8

Had another superb shave with this razor today using the new titanium handle. Very minor weight difference but better grip. Loving the razor but I’m afraid I’ve got to sell it as I’ve had a large bill come in that takes priority. Will be sad to let it go.

Shame you've got to sell it mate! Especially as you've enjoyed the razor. I guess this means the Timeless Titanium is still the king?

It is! That’s one of the reasons I can afford to sell the Taiga really but I’ll be sad as it’s a great razor. Definitely the smoothest adjustable I’ve used.

I'm torn whether to buy the homelike or the timeless, bit have to be patient to see what comes up on BST.

Shame you've got the big bill, sounds like you would keep of you could.

It’s tougher than I thought it would be for sure. Saying that, I’ve not personally shaved with anything better than the Timeless and I’ve used a lot of the hype razors.

Sorry to hear you had to sell the Taiga razor.
Which Ti Timeless do you have? .95 or .68?

I got a .95 Ti Timeless recently, and it’s incredibly smooth, considering the efficiency...
Which level/ number on the Taiga did you find similar to the Timeless?

I would say maybe around 3.5 on the dial myself which is where I was using it.

Solid bar?

Solid bar?

Yep! When money is better later in the year I’ll probably pick up a .68 plate and then maybe an open comb just for a lot of hair growth if that happens.
