Shave #4. I'm thinking about a razor switch for the weekend. I haven't used my New SC in a while.
To me this is one of the most beautifully designed razors ever. Simple, effective and full brass for the price of three Tabac pucks. Bliss!Brush: Stando amazaque wood SHD 2-band badger
Razor: Fatip Piccolo OC
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (6)
Preshave: Lavender bar soap
Soap: Tabac
Aftershave: Pan Drwal Absinth

Fully agree. It's my cheapest razor, but I think it's the best looking one. Especially the Piccolo handle. Others are also nice, but there is something in this little handle. It also feels good in hands, both weight and balance of head/handle. I like this vintage design and the fact that for this price it's brass and not zamak. The only problem I have with this razor is blade allignment. I need to spend some time when dropping a new blade to make sure that blade exposure is the same on both sides. But for this price and more important for how smooth it shaves, I can live with itTo me this is one of the most beautifully designed razors ever.

Oh, and in my case it was less than two Tabac pucks. I got it cheap, but brand new. I don't know how they make money of these razors
What a beautiful razor with that scalloped cap and splendid handle!!!View attachment 1533542
Timeless .95 OC - what a great shaving tool with perhaps the smoothest open combs out there... Two passes with some touchups made my skin feel like 12 again. Needless to say the rest of the gear performed gracefully as well. No nicks or blemishes, just a calm BBS skin. Terrific!
Have a great day, y'all!
I wholeheartly agree. But way more important, the Timeless is a performer! As was today’s OC razor of choice... a WR1 .80 DC. I shaved with the OC side exclusively, for sure.What a beautiful razor with that scalloped cap and splendid handle!!!
