If the issue is shaving under the nose as, Nick describes it, I have a big nose and nudging the tip of it to the side allows for easy access with almost any razor design.
Another vote here for Timeless, beautifully made and shave really nicely. The 68 scalloped is a wonderful daily razor, whilst the 95 is usefully more efficient without being too much.
Enjoy the dilemma!
The PAA Ascension and RR Lupo deal with this by narrowing toward blade edges, and it works pretty well, IMO. The Rex Envoy does this, too, I think.Thanks for the insight into the other razors - I will look into them.
Regarding the issue, it's not about access ... heck, I can get a 1912 in there without issue! It's about the razor having a quite obvious massive corner where the blade can't reach. I spotted it just by looking and then found that very issue outlined in a review video. If the razor was not that wide (to address the non-issue of covering the tabs) then it wouldn't be an issue. Shame. I guess I'll find out as a very kind chap has offered to lend me one, albeit the open comb.
The Mamba 70 is a really easy going razor. I enjoy mine but I think you'll find it a little boring. It's the type of razor you have to do 3 passes with but they're 3 easy, comfortable and thought free passes.Thoughts on the Mamba (or BBS) versus the Game Changer, folks?

That sounds very similar to the BBS-SS, very comfortable and easy, but uneventful, although very close. The blade tabs are covered which I like, but the ends of the safety bar are wider than the blade, which I'm not keen on. The blade fits the cap perfectly snug, and is clamped down very securely which is good. Overall it's an excellent razor.

...I'm after a posh hassle-free (so no adjustable or multiple plates), just fit, shave and forget razor. The reason the R89 doesn't get so raved about or the Tech is called "the humble Tech" is because that's precisely what these razors do - they shave you, without issue and without character. That's what I'm after, but stainless.
PM sent.@slapo - off topic but do you have a spare stainless Lupo you want to sell me?
