An unexpected 8th last shave with the Timeless, the last roll of the die. With my Shavemac arriving today I couldn't resist another shave and I thought I'd give the Timeless another shot with one of my tried and tested soaps...
@p.b I assume I'm allowed to to try a new brush?
1912 Cashmere was the soap of choice, my favourite and I'll start with feeeback on the brush. This thing is a beauty, I've fallen in love with the handle and though I am not a brush expert, I can tell this knot is in another league. It whipped up a great lather, was incredibly soft and just all round lovely. I'll be mainly face lathering with her for now, I might throw in the odd bowl lather to mix it up though. Trying to think of a name for her, suggestions welcome
Back to the razor, using the only baseplate I haven't tried, the 0.95 solid bar, the 100mm handle and the scalloped top cap I had a generally good shave. My face is near BBS from two passes, my neck is a bit red though with some weepers. I chunk of this redness and weepers is completely my fault though as for some inexplicable reason I went to touch up a patch I'd missed and went completely the wrong way, ATG (which I avoid on my neck) and that was the cause of a large patch of red and 3 or 4 weepers. Hopefully look better in the morn. The 0.95mm Solid Bar is probably nore up my street as a daily driver, but my face is actually quite tight after the shave. It was a good shave, but I still won't miss it when it's gone. Boy did the AS have some sting!
