Timeless Slant Razor First Impressions double-edge Aluminum safety razor

[@jamesagnew6512]

Tobin, I bought the Timeless Slant based on this first impressions video. Man it is a great razor in every respect. Thank you.

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

@jamesagnew6512 hey James! Thanks, man! I appreciate hearing back from someone who bought it after viewing the vid. I love it, our daughter used it tonight. It was her second time with it and she loves it as well. Have a good one!

[@steveboyd3455]

Love the comments about the expensive ones (particularly the Tedalus which is crazy at $1000 for a razor). That new slant looks mild just looking at the head; seems to not have a really slanted slant to it. And a negative exposure, too. Will be interesting to see how efficient it is once you get it in action. Have a great week T.

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

Thanks, Steve! I just feel like a non-adjustable made of stainless steel is not worth $1,000 and I don't care how much lipstick you put on that pig. The razor is mild, a very mild feel to yet but a very nice shaver. I've used it 3 times now and am glad I made the purchase. Have a great week!

[@mikeperritte]

That looks nice and cant wait for your review. I agree these high price razor and even a few soaps are getting crazy. My most expensive has been the Stirling SS and Leaf SS razors. Have a great weekend

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

You and me both! A few soaps out there are nuts!

[@brooklynproduction]

Great razor! I will try same razor in next shave! PS/ Cool pirate head on background! Good luck!

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

Thank you! I got the Pirate head at Disneyland in like 2002. I'm going to do my second shave with it tonight when I get home. Can't decide which blade I want to use next.

Digging your channel. Nice review. I appreciate your honesty and just telling it how it is.

Thanks Quinn! It's what I look for in a review myself, so I figure it's what I should deliver. Have a great weekend!

looks like a great travel razor !

It is!

[@WallyPankowski-wd8gb]

@@Tobins_throwbacks I used it today and it really surprised me. There is a large gap but the slant is almost imperceptible . I felt the blade but there was no irritation and the shave was very good. For $54.00, it is a great travel razor.

@@WallyPankowski-wd8gb I couldn't agree more!

Very nice first Impressum from a new Razor for a normal price, I think! 45 it's even for me not much! Have a great weekend 👍

Thanks, you too! Money is getting tight for everyone, it's nice to see a new product at a price most can afford.

[@RobertsReviews1974]

@@Tobins_throwbacks that's true!

[@RichardE62]

Best Feeling and shaving slant I've ever had.

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

I'm loving it! I've done a couple side by side-by-side shaves with two other slants. The Merkur 37c and The Konsul. I can't believe how mild it feels while delivering above-average efficiency!

[@RichardE62]

@@Tobins_throwbacks You're right. It's a winner. I'm going to try out all my good blades and see what it's capable of. It's feather tonight.

[@stevem1563]

The Timeless slant looked nice. I have the red aluminum DOC Evolution Aluminus aka the beard slayer. I really like the way that one shaves.

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

Hey Steve! If you ever by some rare chance want to re-home that razor let me know. I'd love to work out a deal for one. Hope you had a good weekend

[@stevem1563]

@@Tobins_throwbacks I was bummed when PAA stopped selling the stainless and aluminum versions of this razor. I waited and watched a long time on eBay for one. I found mine about 2 years ago for around $130. I’m a PAA geek and love the razor. For now I don’t want to part with it, but if the day comes I’ll keep you in mind.

[@unclelshaves]

I've actually got my eye on the TimeLess ALSB45, now I need to add the Slant to my list ...😜

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

It's on my list now too! I got their blue shave bowl for only $5 from a "Scratch and Dent " and I am SUPER impressed!

[@jamespark6074]

I may have to order this on Friday. Mind if I dm you some questions about it?

[@stainless.steel.lawman]

Beautiful slant razor and great first impressions. I agree with everything you said, Mr. Fetters. As the saying goes, "An item is worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay for it." Looking forward to your full review of that beautiful slant razor.🪒👊

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

When it comes to modern razors over $200 I've just never really felt like I got "my money's worth" out of most of my modern razors. I enjoy them don't get me wrong. But sooner or later the newness wears off and it becomes just another razor and I find myself using my cheaper razors as often or more often than the $200 plus ones. At least with vintage they retain their value and can be sold for the same that I purchased them for or more. Good luck doing that with most modern tho. Have a good weekend!

[@stainless.steel.lawman]

@@Tobins_throwbacks I agree 💯! Enjoy your weekend too, good sir.👊

[@anderstietz809]

Curious how the Timeless compares to the Merkur 37C. I absolutely love the 37C. Thanks !

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

I've used it three times now, I would say it feels milder than the 37c.

[@leehaseley2164]

Timeless really do make some very attractive razors. The handle is especially nice. Way back in early 2020 I won the original Timeless aluminium, and although I love it, the level of efficiency is too much for me, and I tend to give myself irritation with it. Anybody new, please notice that I stated that "I give myself irritation with it.) I have a few friends who are much less kackhanded than me, who get perfect shaves with theirs each and every time.

[@MK-us]

I haven't got a slant razor, and I am truly wwondering why I should buy one. Perhaps you could explain it mo me ( pro and neg please ), because I see them a lot but can't quit get my hand on buying one but can't seem to tell myself why or why not

[@williammurphy1756]

Nice looking razor. A slant with a .002 negative blade exposure? As an everyday shaver I don't really need a slant, but the negative blade exposure sounds interesting. I will be watching for your review of this razor. When I try different razors, I always find myself going back to my Rockwell 6s. Have a great weekend. 👍

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

Right? I still need to go use it. Our daughter has friends over so I got distracted with them and a pizza dinner. I'm a daily shaver as well. There is just something about slants that I love. More than just physical, I'll talk about it when I review. Replying to your comment just gave me an idea lol. And same here, I LOVE my 6C and 6S. They shave as well or better than most or all. Hope your weekend is off to a great start! By the way, you got me reading comics again! I haven't read comics in years! Thanks for turning me onto that website!

[@williammurphy1756]

@@Tobins_throwbacks Just received this razor and had one shave with it using a Personna Platinum blade. This did a good job with almost no blade feel. I am sure after a few more shaves I will get use to the weight difference from my usual stainless steel razors my shaves will be even better. I will also try a sharper blade. Never thought I would like a slant razor. The price is at a great point and this could even be great for a beginner. Have a great day. 😀

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

@williammurphy1756 awesome! I enjoy all of my aluminum razors and slants and this is the best of both worlds! This has become one of my favorite slants!

[@scottmartin4352]

Do the slant razors come with a feather blades or not just curious

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

Mine didn't come with any blades.

[@scottmartin4352]

That's cool to see different style of budget friendly razors

[@r55mannyp]

Good looking razor. Great review on the initial impressions. I been eyeing the regular aluminum razor. Just wondering if it’s more efficient than a Merkur 34c.

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

Thanks! I've wondered the same thing! If I fall in love with this one, it may drive me to buy it. Have a good weekend brother!

[@pugchronicals1374]

I'm sending mine back,it has a 0.86 blade gap but very small blade exposure. Way too mild for me, nice looking but doesn't do the job for me!

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

I was wondering about have it would shave, I haven't used mine yet. I'm going to use it here shortly. I was afraid of exactly what you mentioned. That's why I mentioned the money and the cost in the beginning. I rarely use my Tuxedo, maybe once or twice a year, and considering what I paid for it is what burns me the most. I bought it when it first came out like I did the Slant. So, I'm hoping I don't kick myself too hard considering I only paid $54 for it. And don't get me wrong, I love my Konsul. I do, I just have a hard time promoting it and telling guys that they need one. I'll come back after my shave and let you know how the first one went. How many times did you use it?

[@pugchronicals1374]

@Tobins_throwbacks For the money it's a great newbie razor. Like you I have too many razors as it is..

[@jakebarnett]

@@Tobins_throwbacks A very slight negative exposure can become neutral with the right blade. I'd try it with a Kai or a Feather and see what it feels like since they are slightly wider than standard and raise the blade exposure from the factory numbers. Neutral exposure razors have been great for me as someone who has sensitive skin and likes to shave frequently. As with everything YMMV. Seems like it was built to be an approachable daily driver. Nothing wrong with that, but it won't be for everyone, particularly if you really enjoy a lot of blade feel or have extremely coarse hair.

[@Mr_ZB18]

I've been looking at this razor. The price is certainly right. Do you have a Henson aluminum razor? I have the AL13++ and love it.

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

Hey Brian I had a Henson when they first came out I kept it for a few weeks and then sold it. That was before they came out with all the other plates and stuff though back when I was just the one razor in a handful of colors

[@Mr_ZB18]

@Tobins_throwbacks I have not tried their mild. I have the medium aggression, and it works well for me. They also have titanium, which I believe are heaviest than the aluminum. I also heard of some people putting a stainless steel handle on the head to add weight.

[@pjwroblewski]

Good looking razor.

[@RichardE62]

I just ordered mine today.

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

I had a great shave with it last night. I had a Wizamet in it. Can't wait to use it again today

[@toddreese5309]

THE MOST I've spent on a is $125 that was the Rex Envoy

[@Leenunes007]

I'd be nervous to drop such a huge amount on a razor. When you've got Yates, Karve, and others putting out top level work for under $100, it's hard to not be disappointed by something that costs so much more and doesn't offer any improvement outside of polishing. I don't see a problem with the top of the market going higher though. Stuff trickles down to the budget side of the market too. Nobody was making CNC solid razors a decade ago. Only the crazy enthusiasts had them. Now you see numerous solid stainless machined razors with a polished finish for the same price as a good zamak razor.

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

Well said Lee, I couldn't have said it better myself. I've just learned as a content creator I have a responsibility not to overhype stuff. And there is no way a stainless steel non-adjustable razor would ever deliver a $1,000 shave. The last thing I want is to add to the chaos. It's great that people are making them. I don't think he'll sell very many, not in this economy. But, with enough content creators hyping it maybe it will. I had an opportunity to be included in the pass-around of the Tedulas. But declined because I knew exactly how the shave would go. It would be a good or maybe even great shave but not a $1,000 shave. So, rather than say anything negative about the product in a "formal review" video I declined. I've passed up on a few reviews for similar reasons. The main thing they all have in common is a product that doesn't deliver for the price. And, I have other content I'd rather create. When I buy something it's different from when it's sent to me. I don't know exactly how to verbalize it. Two years of KZbin reviews have altered my perspective...if that makes sense. Have a good one Lee!

[@jonathan19947]

Yeah I heard about that $1,000 razor that's pretty dumb there's no reason for why a simple grooming TOOL should cost that much. You can buy several razors for that price. I know it has a nice look to it and has unique manufacture formula (the kind used for car engines- did you hear about that part) but again all of these razors look nice if cleaned properly. It shaves no differently they all do it the same kind of way, I mean they're to shave with at the end of the day right? I don't see how any of these razors are THAT stand out different. But whatever, let people feel the way they want but that's reality and just good common sense.

Well said, brother! And yeah, I knew about the manufacturing process it's just lipstick 😉 Have a week!
