Thanks Ron. The Maseto shave brushes are excellent brushes for the money. I this one in silvertip, another 30mm in 2 band and a 24mm 2 band. All of them are great for the money. Highly recommend you pick up one

Thanks. I've only heard good things about the Maseto lately. I'm pretty sure I'll pick up a silvertip and a 2 band.

I have 2 shaves with the Timeless now and both were exceptional. Everything just clicks - the performance, the feel, the quality, the finish, the weight/balance, the aesthetics... I really enjoy it. I think it is just an outstanding razor. The soap was fine, and worked OK. I used it the first shave, and I think I needed to load more in the brush. The scent was mild and not too memorable. It worked fine, but I think I need to use the soap a few more times to form a better opinion. I am not saying it was bad, but that I need to play around with it more. For sure, you can't go wrong with the Timeless hardware. They have been talking about bringing some Titanium products to market, but haven't specifically shown anything. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for these guys based on their current products.

If I had to chose one razor to shave with the choice would be so easy!. I have an Oleo Soapworks, Pucker, which I think I'll be using Monday. Yes, I wonder where Timeless is going to venture. It may be quite a ride.

The lemon-ginger theme - great seasonal match!

The shave:
- a razor
- a blade
- a brush
- a soap
- an aftershave

Sunday is just a Bay Rum kind of day. Col. Konk Bay Rum face lathered with a vintage Rubberset reknotted Silvertip, the J1 left my face smooth and BBS. A splash of Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel and Virgin Island Bay Rum and I am ready to face the day. Have a blessed Sunday everyone.

That's two day's worth of fine shaves, Rod. Every time I see pics with injectors I think "I need to bring out mine ... soon!" Maybe I will....

Had a relaxing Sunday morning shave, My son joined me advising that he wanted to shave like daddy. (he's 5 years old) so he was able to join in on the fun, I let him lather up and he "shaved" using a bladeless razor, he had a fun time.

Cool setup, Chris. Neat picture of your son. Starting him in the right direction.

Sunday SOTD

B&M Seville
Stirling Butterscotch Fan
'77 Gillette Super Adjustable
Voskhod
Barrister's Reserve Classic

A new day a new soap to kill. Up next is my tub of Barrister & Mann Seville White Label. This is truly a great soap that I'm going to enjoy using to the end. Then I'll get a tub of the Glissant version because I have yet to use anything in that base.

Also, the Voskhod blade worked great. I've only used it once before when I was first starting and it wasn't the best experience. But I thought I would try it again and I'm glad I did.

Formerly Heybobitsme

Great display of the Ring of Death, Rob. I haven't tried the new Seville (still have a tub of the white) but have tried several of the new glissants. I think you'll be in for a treat. Voskhod is one of my favorite blades.

So sorry to be absent from SOTD for so long!
And it will be a while before getting back into full swing!
Took a slip and ankle injury while adventuring along the Missouri in Montana couple days ago! Back home now and awaiting repair surgery this coming week! Will try to post whatever or whenever possible, certainly by fall (hoping!). Meanwhile looking forward to following everyone's activity!

Estrenando la Tridur después de haberla mandado a afilar y como no podía ser mejor , una agradable sorpresa ya que esta navaja le va perfectamente a mi barba dura con lo que me siento realizado, tiene un corte muy suave y a la vez nunca mejor dicho eficaz .Observo que las navajas bien afiladas por profesionales dan unos afeitados apurados increíbles y sin ningún tipo de sustos. El broche de oro lo ha puesto ésta crema inglesa que ha hecho las delicias perfectas del deslizamiento.
