| Notes to today’s shave: |
Closing out the month with my #1 razor. Everything about it is beautiful and I smile no grin from ear to ear every time I pick it up. Pinch myself and get on with the shave.
Combining the Ti95 with the Eddison is a very reliable combination for me. They both entered my home around the same time and I have had most Ti95 shaves with an Eddison I think. Very consistent results. Super comfortable and smooth. This blade has mileage left, but with OBiF up next month I will use this blade again in March. And reality was aligned with expectations so a very relaxed and effective shave.
Tabac…yeah well…the lather is excellent. I used my thumbs to close the gap from the donation to a fellow brother. Gives me the impression that I have used this soap more than I have. Even after the 26+ uses no dint had occurred at all. This puck will be with me for years coming.
Having tried the Gillette Slant yesterday I reverted back to regular strokes today, as I felt these were easier to perform with short strokes. Slant and Slide work better with longer strokes. I do use a slanted / oblique stroke when doing the WXTG pass. For now this is working out quite well with wanted results.
Enjoy your shaves!

I LOVE THIS RAZOR!!
A fantastic shave today!! Wonderful. The Timeless disciplined the Tiger into performance and perform it did. Smooth, comfortable, irritation free and best of all as good a BBS as any.I needed this shave after a number of mediocre ones. I will use the Timeless for the remainder of the week to see where she can take this blade. And a joyful week it will be using my number 1 razor.

2/14 Timeless (& Tech) Tuesday
Today's my second shave with my newly-acquired Timeless .95 SS with scalloped head/bar. I want to practice with the Timeless, while mitigating the aggression--so the Tech handles my ATG passes. Still adjusting to the weight and angles this razor demands, but we're quickly becoming friends. A more detailed narrative can be found here. Happy Valentine's!

• Timeless Ti .95 OC in matte.
• Nacet (2).
• Pre shave oil from Executive Shaving.
• Hot shower with olive oil bar soap.
• Captain’s Choice copper bowl.
• RazoRock Blonde boar.
• Proraso shaving cream in tube.
• Nivea post balm for face.
• Proraso Gold after shave back of neck and chest.
The judge awarded a solid 10 today for Timeless Tuesday. Along with the Nacet (2) and a wonderful lather from Proraso in the tube, the 3 day growth went down easily and very efficiently. I really like the finishing touch of Nivea post shave balm and the Proraso Gold…..(So does the LOTH on this combination Valentine’s Day and Anniversary).

| Notes to today’s shave: |
This morning's shave was a blissful event. A seventh run with a Tiger Platinum blade and the Ti95 makes it perform like new. I keep repeating myself, but this razor is just the pinnacle of a nice, comfortable and excellent shave. And I just love her looks!
Short strokes and no pressure is the name of the game this month and it is working out pretty well. This blade is very suited for people entering the DE shaving experience or for people that want an irritation free neck each and every shave. If you were not like me and bin a blade after each shave or anywhere from 1-3 shaves, this blade stays sufficiently sharp as well. And given its price point this is a very cost effective blade. But as YMMV was practically invented for describing blade experiences - maybe this one is not for you. Only one way to find out.

All in all a nice shave. Enjoy yours today!

| Notes to today’s shave: |
The shave is wonderful and the Ti95 effortlessly glide over my face and neck showing me what a stellar shave looks and feels like. Three passes where two would have been sufficient, but the experience is just too good to end.
The end result is amazing. Marble cheeks and a BBS neck and jawline. Totally ready for whatever is happening outside.
