PDP63/30mm Tuxedo
Mentholated/Scented Witch Hazel

PDP63 Cologne EDT

Would have been a great shave, other than catching a blade tab rotating the razor directly in front of my right ear.....and taking what seemed like forever to quell the blood. Sharp blade, early morning with 4 hours sleep, what could possibly go wrong? :)

Love your Razor it would be perfect if it had closed comb.

Thanks. Timeless OCs are pretty smooth though. Not like most others.

The Timeless OC razors are nearly magic, imho. So smooth, yet still efficient. I almost never use my scalloped and sb plates (I've even sold a few). The .68 oc is great daily to every 48 hours depending on your growth. If you need more, the .95 oc should work. Amazing oc razors that you don't need to fear, just respect. The .95 oc can bite if you aren't paying attention. The .68 is almost like a cart in ease of use.

Razor: .68 ti oc
Blade: Personna lab blue
Soap: Kaliflower Organics Citrus and Cedar
Brush: Muhle 21mm STF
Bowl: Timeless

Great shave. No need to praise the Timeless, it was phenomenal as always.

First use of the Kaliflower soap but it was up there with the best of them. Very similar to MdC in that the lather exploded, was very slick and protective, and was neither drying nor overly moisturizing post shave.

I shaved a fortune
As soon as my scratch and dent SS Timeless 0.68OC with a Ti Crown handle shows up, I'm putting my Ti matte 0.68OC, scalloped top and razor stand up for sale on BST.

As odd as this might sound to those of you who love the lighter weight of an entire Titanium, I find my Ti 0.68OC a bit too light for comfort. I use Timeless Ti Crown handles on all my SS razor heads and love the combination. I'm fairly confident I'll enjoy the SS 0.68 with the Crown as well.
