Shower.

Pre-shave oil.
Lather: Razorock What the Puck? in the orange sunrise scent
Razor: Folding Feather SS shavette
Blade: Feather ProGuard on its 8th shave
One pass on the cheeks, two on the neck
Aftershave: Simply Natural Soap's aftershave in lavender/mint/menthol

Rating: Easily 9 out of 10. Smooth and comfortable.

I wasn't confident in the lather because normally I use artisan tallow soaps with lots of added butters and they are dense; this lather was fluffier in appearance. But it shaved great!

Shave 20190921

Prep: Wash face with Neutrogena
Pre-shave: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic
Soap: Stirling Electric Sheep
Razor: Timeless-0.95 OC-Scalloped Cap
Blade: Kai (6)
Post-shave: Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe + Thai Alum stick
Post-Shave Balm: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
After Shave: Stetson with Aloe

First shave with the Timeless. Blade was a Kai, still very sharp through shave #6.

Like the Blackbird, the Timeless is a very impressive and efficient razor. Effortless is the best term I can use to describe my shave using the Timeless. Definitely a BBS shave with very minimal irritation.

Very nice razor!

Today same setup with my other razor the new wilkinson TTO. I must say i'm impressed by this razor, BBS in three passes (ok, with the same feather...) and even a tad more efficient of my DE89 but with the same comfort. Maybe it's because the head is almost an exact clone of an old vintage gillette slim TTO.

Gillette Yellow blade(3)
I believe 3rd time shaving with the Omega brush, still has a scent to it but maybe lessening now
I forgot how much more agressive the red tip is, I will be going back to the flare tip after three days worth of red tip.

8.2/10 some irritation.

Shave 20190922

Prep: Wash face with Neutrogena
Brush: Frank Shaving Synthetic
Soap: Proraso Blue Cream
Razor: Gillette Pre-war Canada Tech (triangular slots), Maggard MR-11
Blade: Kai (7)
Post-shave: Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe
After Shave Balm: Proraso Blue
Cologne: Original Stetson

Can't make up my mind between the Pre-war Canadian Tech (triangular slots) and the English Flat Bottom Tech. Both are excellent with a nice sharp blade like the Kai.

Wasn't expecting a great result using the Derby Premium but thought I'd give it a whirl ... must say very good - zero feedback from alum bar and the shave is pretty close to using the feathers.
Will give them a go for a week
