Changed to de shaving. Wanted a razor like the old Gillette of the 50s. The Timor was a cheap option. However it does shave well and has an easy mechanism for changing blades. I have to get used to using minimal pressure as opposed to the Mach 3 I have been using for many years. I hope to save a lot of money this way and I recommend this razor to all those wanting to get back to pleasure shaving.

A great value butterfly action razor for returning to traditional shaving. Very good gunmetal finish on razor and well built although slight rattle on mechanism. Gives a good shave and an excellent price from Maguires although I was a bit dissapointed to find that there was no free pack of Astra blades as advertised on website

a) brilliant razor for any relative newbie - relatively easy to quickly learn the optimum shaving angle b) brilliant size also, giving, I think, a closer degree of control c) gun metal finish looks amazing, and really good medium weight Overall, provides, for me, a very low stress shave, of medium aggression level. And amazing value from Maguires, well done

Twelve months down the line and this razor is still doing fine. As a daily shaver I have found that a 'mild' DE tends to suit me better overall, and the Timor has its regular place in rotation. Don't be put off by the (seemingly) low cost of this razor: it is very well built; and I would even go as far to say that, performance-wise, it is every bit as good as my vintage 1966 Gillette Slim adjustable - which, btw, I've had from new!

This is a very pleasant razor, light in weight, and a handle length that is erring on the short side of 'normal'. The blade angle is mild which requires a slightly more acute angle on the face. Some folk find this a bit awkward at first, but once you have got used to it, the result is a nice, close, comfortable shave. Being a butterfly type of razor (TTO) blade-changing is very straightforward. All in all, this is a perfect razor for anyone starting out in wet shaving; or, indeed, for anyone wanting an occasional change from a more aggressive razor. And the gunmetal finish is something a little bit different from the rest. Recommended!
