That arrayment is a beauty, Steve. Ok; how did you like the Timeless? And how was the Oleo soap? I'm planning on picking up a tub along with another handle and scalloped cap.

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.

Superb close-in pic, Freddie. Like the placement of the brush behind the EdT and the resultant bleeding color. I love that razor handle. Was The Joker a good finisher for the Fat and the Osage Rub?

Thanks Ron! It actually is a good finisher. Nice masculine scent that's not overpowering. Somewhat generic but still smells nice and the wife likes it.

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.

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.

Jamie, is it the light or is that a gold Slim Adjustable, AKA the Aristocrat Slim? It is certainly a beauty.

Thanks for asking as I won this slim in a LOT and the description was not good. It is Gold ! there are some scratched and little bit of the gold was lost in the door sides - but it works great and I must say the slim is better than the fat boy for me! so I think I did get the aristocrat slim!!! I got that and a super speed both for 35 bucks

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.

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.
