First outing with my .95 Timeless.
I wanted my next Timeless to have the TRH6 handle & I bought this on the BST from the good soul that is Jim Bruce (@jimthecamera)
He specified this razor build with just about every extra. My own stainless steel .68 Timeless I went for the industrial look with the build. I wanted Rockwell 6S styling influences so went for a matt finish, smooth cap & bar but putting this alongside it then it has some serious bling going on!

Pairing up with a GSB, my favourite blade. A noticeable increase in the aggression over my .68 Timeless but still lower than my .68 Carbon Cx.
A nice middle ground for when I want to up the ante.
Taking in the characteristics and controlling the cap riding the handling is so good. Falling in the middle of my stainless steel Timeless and Carbon razors, it is a joy to use.

I did actually think titanium would be lighter than it actually is as this is my first titanium razor, it does have a modicum of heft. My stainless steel model is the heaviest razor I have & it does feel so similar but with a handling upgrade. Like putting a performance chip in your car, same car but it’s faster!
One could easily daily drive the .95 baseplate. It has that precision Timeless feel, it’s not going to bite you, it just wants to get on with the job in hand & it does it.
We all know the best shaves do not need a high end razor, I come away with some of the best results using my daily driver which is an R89 but with Timeless it feels special to me. They are my favourite razor brand.

Now onto the Spearhead Seaforth Heather sample. Kindly sent to me by the all round smashing bloke that is Daz (@Tortuga) thank you very much.
One I need to put on the want list, a wonderful lather with a scent to match, can't fault it.

Wishing top shaves all round and have a great Sunday folks! :thumbsup:

I went for a cold water shave tonight
i say cold but i guess it was nearly freezing :ROFLMAO:
However the shave was everything i wanted it to me.
The Blade was a modern Gillette Blue but you would have thought it was made for the sticky it was so good.
iv come to the conclusion the more gear you have the more difficult it is to pick your shave lol.
Onwards & Upwards
Stay Safe Boys
