Brush: Semogue Torga-C3 Finest Mistura 22/49
Soap: TFS Mandarino Tachibana
Razor: Timeless SSSlim OC (on iKon Tuckaway handle)
Blade: Nacet (5)
ASL: TFS Mandarino Tachibana

Another good shave. :biggrin:

To reduce the handle length I fitted the Timeless with an iKon Tuckaway (67mm) today. Unfortunately it ended up being a tad too short, whereas the Fine WFSR handle used yesterday was a tad too long.

The one thing I did find out is that the iKon Tuckaway is a good handle, but the Fine WFSR handle is VASTLY SUPERIOR (for only $1 more).

My second shave with the Timeless was as good as my first; so apparently it wasn't beginners luck yesterday. :001_smile

So far I'm certainly enjoying my Timeless SSSlim OC experience, but it's not looking like pushing any of my favorites off their podium. I intend continuing my "SSSlim OC Training" up to 30 shaves to give it a fair "crack of the whip" though.


Happy Shaves guys. :cornut:
