Four weepers today, only. That's a good result for me and my faceThe Timeless Bronze .78 OC is a beautyful razor. But it's my most aggressive razor (it's sneaky in terms of biting without further warning)... I would have sold it already if there wasn't the .38 baseplate which hopefully will suit me way better. As some might recall I'm eagerly awaiting a friend of mine to import the plate to Germany. Bought the plate back in 2023.
I hope everyone's enjoying a relaxed Sunday!
Cheers, Comrades!

SOTD - “Matchy Matchy" Theme Week - May 27th to June 2nd, 2024 May 2024 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)
Hello friends
Misty start to the week here. To somehow follow the theme of this week's SOTD I continue chasing the scent of roses and this time I combine Mike's Rose, Patchouli & Cedarwood soap with Guerlain Habit Rouge EdT which has these scents in its middle notes. A match made in Heaven.
Greencult 2.0 II, Gillette Platinum Light Blue (3), Semogue SOC Mistura and Floïd Mentolado Suave were magnificent.
With us, the wonderful voice of Dorothy Dandridge.

Have a nice week and great shaves!
Still in. 6S, Parker sp, and VDH soap and boar
