Giesen & Forsthoff Timor 1321

Has anyone else ever used one?  I am recovering from Amnesic Shellfish/Domoic Acid Poisoning.  My short term, and, long term memory was affected.  So, anyway, I remembered using one, and, loving it, years ago.  Now that I have remembered it, I have ordered one.  I hope it arrives by Saturday, but, it may be Monday.  Either way, a nice little Easter present, for myself, from myself, to myself, which I remembered, by myself.  

This would be a good choice, anyway, as it is quite mild, and, the blades are sharp, without sacrificing smoothness.  

Anyway, I just thought I would share this.  Timor is very popular in Europe.  Is it big in North America?

It is not big here, not sure why, I heard really good review of this razor and closed comb 3 piece. It's mild but efficient.

I ordered 1321,1350 and 1350K from Connaught shaving today.

Good to know. 

I actually got the 1322, according to the box, and, packing slip.  It is made in Germany.

Cool score.  I have used the 1350/K, but, it proved too heavy, for my face.

Upon further investigation, this statement appears to be only somewhat accurate.  

Both are based upon a vintage Gillette design.  I believe it to be the SuperSpeed.  The original one, not the adjustable.

Now, the Timor razor, besides being produced in Solingen, Westfalen, (Westfalen being part of Nordhein-Westfalen, the modern German Bundesland), is a tad longer, quite a bit heavier, more balanced, in the hand, and, has a smaller gap between the blade, and, the teeth of the razor comb.

I think the box is misleading. I have the Timor 1321 and an exact match Weishi I bought off eBay. Literally the same razor.

That is some bad news, there, then, I suppose.

ETA:  This just proves that Germany is the Mexico of Switzerland.
