Timeless Tuesdays!

Had my shave with the Timeless Bronze using a .38 plate for the first time in ages yesterday, used a fresh Personna lab blue, lathered up with Stirling Tangerine soap and was actually pleasantly surprised. I had to remind myself with the shave prior that the .78 OC is, shall we say, not quite what I'm after in a razor. The .38 plate however was amazingly more efficient and comfortable than I had remembered it being. Normally I'm not a fan of lower gapped razors because they tend to be mild and don't keep my growth down enough without me practically having a hermit beard by the next shave a couple days later but 12 or so hours later and still feel freshly shaved. Could be I was too hasty to judge this razor the last time I had it but time will tell, very happy with it this time around so far.

First time using the Timeless Ti95 since I got The Blackbird

It's interesting to compare the two, I find the shaves completely different. I don't notice much on the WTG pass, but ATG is where the Timeless is smoother IMHO. It seems to be a combination of the more substantial safety bar and having half the blade exposure! It really glides nice on all passes and that's what keeps it in my rotation. DFS+(8/10)

If I am being honest, the shave is closer with The Bird and the shave faster with The Timeless. For the same level of facial disruption, a one on my scale. The Timeless could get as close with a sharper blade at the cost of some facial discomfort. I prefer to stick with the medium sharpness blades and keep the inflammation low.

I had the debut shave with my new .95 open comb plate today. A very promising start. Very smooth, quite efficient. Very comfortable.
That's the level of comfort I hope to achieve with the Slim .50 OC on a regular basis one day, too.

Happy Tuesday!

I'm taking the plunge, myself.
SS (polished) .95 OC should hit my front porch tomorrow....

Thanks 😀

The .95 OC is a highly satisfying shaving tool. Keeping my fingers crossed you'll like it. I have no doubts you won’t.
 
Random question I couldn't really find a better place for - can anyone recommend an inexpensive inkwell stand that works well with the Timeless Crown handles?
