Shave Of The Night

Shave Of The Night

This might be the last shave with the Timeless Ti95 for a while, I think it might be time for it to go to sleep and get some well deserved rest. Not sure about it though because it shaves so well, but the other guys are getting neglected too much and they are starting to complain 😁.

I think there's value in sticking with the same razor for a bit and to not rotate every shave, at least for me, I can really feel the difference compared to the first shaves, granted that it was totally new to me. My opinion on this razor is very good and I can't wait to use the other plates (scalloped and open) in the future. It gives me almost BBS in two hybrid WTG/XTG passes, impressive.

Zenith Horse Hair Brush was put in water this evening after being stored for some months and wasn't probably enough, too scratchy, I remember it being softer, I will stick to it for the next shaves.

Perma-sharp (2) never disappoints me, in fact it's the one I use the most.

Agar is a nice scent, not overwhelming, elegant and I would describe it as "light" and pleasant. I'm not good at describing scents but it reminded me of Floid: This is why I paired them even though I have the full set. I think the combo is superb.

Thanks for reading and have a great shave!

Great shave this afternoon on a few days of growth. Still using the recently acquired Ti 95 with the SB comb. It's so efficient I could have stopped after the first pass but I did a second (XTG) to achieve a very deep shave with no irritation.

The DERBY (stick) soap deserves love: One of the least expensive soaps I own yet one of the best. I hope it's still around and hasn't been discontinued.

Ended the shave with a classic, Aqua Velva.

A Spring Shave With Autumnal Colors

Razor: Timeless Ti95

Brush: DS Cosmetics gel tip badger brush

Soap: Texas On Fire

AS: Gatlinburg

Blade: Treet Carbon

A good late evening shave, just two (WTG/XTG) passes since not much time had passed from the last shave and I didn't want to risk irritation. Still, a very close and pleasurable shave.

This is my fifth shave with the Timeless and I've found it pairs very well with this blade. The razor is very efficient but also smooth as many describe it, I still need to figure it out better, this was probably the best shave with it so far.

Texas on fire is a peculiar smell, I kinda like it but prefer it in autumn/winter. Today was a windy day though and I wanted to use it. I chose Gatlinburg as the AS instead of Texas On Fire because I felt like pairing it with something very similar but less "intense".

Treet Carbon is a good blade for frequent shaves. They don't last long but are quite cheap. I need to use them more to form a real opinion (had them for at least 3 years and barely used).

Thanks for reading!
