It was real better!
The cap was noticeably smoother sliding and it’s smaller, thus exposing more blade on the top. Not sure if that matters although it looks like it might clamp less. I went fully steep as always and it was a brainless, like normal shave with the OV plate. This is a usual blade/soap/prep day and I have used the crown handle many times before.
The really only appreciable difference was the cap add. Sometimes I do get a little drag with the brass cap and I chalk it up to poor lather making. This Timeless cap was like butter on a hot pan. Anecdotal, for sure as this was my first time with this dance partner. I also enjoyed much build up, reading this thread and preparing for a new and exciting shave. My plan is to ride this pony for a week or so and find out if my bliss is repeatable.
I will let y’all know

Meant to add a pic. Here it is with my Stainless steel game-changer and aluminum lupo
Is that a 0.68 GC? If so, how does it compare to the Overlander?View attachment 1415285

I've never used the .68 GC but I do have the .84. The Overlander gives me a more effective shave than the .84. And my guess is the Overlander is as gentle or even more gentle than the .68.

Just as gentle as the 68, but is more efficient.
I prefer the Overlander, more efficient and more smoother in a way
This is my experience as well.
^^^^ well said, I received the Apex and right away I thought of it as the Big brother to the Overlander. I agree, Overlander + plate lol
That's one thing that I have appreciated in the Overlander, it works with my technique. I didn't have to focus on holding it at some special angle to get it to work, it just works! It's like this razor does everything right, like it was tailor made for me. I don't think it's possible to get a better shave!
You better get off this forum quick before the RAD gets you!
The Overlander has almost completely stopped RAD. I know nothing will give a better shave!
That’s stopped no one so far. I look forward to you being the first.
Email isn’t their strong suit. Too busy making razors I suppose
How well I know.
2 passes for DFS+ or better, all you need to do is maintain a neutral...ish angle. I only occasionally use another razor because I own them and need to justify the money I spent!
The aluminum version is tops for me. Buying a second for my birthday to put in my travel kit...I am way to scatter brained to think about grooming before a trip!
