New Timeless Bronze

[Nishy]

Changed up the Timeless Bronze OC this morning for the better. I was using my favorite blade the Gillette 7 'o' clock Yellow. These are on the sharper side and when using with the TB it was always on the cusp of giving me a nasty nick or that was how the shave felt. I was always tentative and on my guard. The Shave was close and good but not enjoyable.
This morning I decided to load up a Shark and the difference was Night and Day. Gone was the feeling of impending bloodletting and the confidence in the shave flooded back. Results were better too giving a super close BBS. The Gillette Yellow is Fab in 90% of the razors I own, especially in my Wolfman 0.78 but it was too much in the Timeless. When you find The blade for a razor it is a wonderful feeling.

Wayne the Gillette 7 O'clock greens were a step up from the yellows in my case. For the very reason you mention above.

I'm finding that GSB's to be the goto blade in my bronze.

Glad to hear it, blades are very individual. one mans meat is another mans poison.

So true. I started off with the Feathers. They are super sharp, but not smooth at all. I had some GSB's so I tried one and I got just as close a shave, but they were definitely smoother.
