In honor of Stahl Wahl Clipper Trekker’s recent investment of a Timeless Ti .95, and the difficulties in getting the perfect shave, I offer the following. I’m new here. I too had difficulties learning how to use DE razors, then modern razors vs. the old Gillettes I inherited. After months of reading here on hardware and software, after testing and then evaluating, I learned it wasn’t the wand, it was the Magician. I posted a less-than-stellar evaluation of a Blackland Blackbird several weeks ago. Now it’s one of my favorite razors. It wasn’t the razor that failed me, it was my technique. So S_W_C_T, in your honor, I pulled out my SS Timeless .95 and gave it a shave using my standby TOBS cream, a PolSilver blade (with five or six shaves on it), and my “Eastwood”, the brush-with-no-name.
If you can find a baby’s bottom smoother than my face right now, I’ll send you a free Gillette Toggle.
My point is, I believe you made a great decision on a great razor. Don’t give up after your first pass. If I had done that, I’d have blamed a couple of great razors on bad shaves before I realized I needed to adjust fire.
Just my two cents,
Best wishes and better shaves,
Curly
