Spice and the Bay: what a great combo, Doug. The scales on your razor really grabs one's attention.

 

[ronweston]

The Timeless is by a large margin the finest razor I have ever shaved with. I have used most everything out there over the last 50 years. Very efficient and incredibly smooth. Highly recommend it.

I concur most heartily. Mine is quickly taking the top spot in my collection.
