@ben139, hope you got the razor safe and sound, how are you getting on with the timeless?
Thank you - it arrived safely :) I've had one shave with it so far it's (it's been a busy week) - I'll post some thoughts up before passing it along!

@ManicDee I think you're next, if you send me some details I'll get it in the post to you before Easter.

Received the box yesterday safe and sound thanks to @ben139.

From the off, I have no intention to try the OC! So started with the SB and polish head on my stork handle. Yes a smooth and close shave with a slight touch of irritation on the cheeks but that is purely set up I think!

Tomorrow will try the scalloped base and head to see the difference between my version!

You really should try the OC, Marco. It's unlike any other OC in feeling like an SB on your face. (I can't recall whether both OC plates were included in this passaround though?)

I actually found the straight bar the more "aggressive" on the face than the OC. It reminded me a bit of when I had an Ikon Shavecraft 102 , the OC for me was smoother than the straight bar.

Hot off the press......

After last rugby training day a hot bath ensued...blah blah, soak, moan and relax.

Well I tried the OC today with a new Astra blade and my stork handle with the usual Wickhams Citrus Musk soap and Shavemac tsr brush...

We know that I am of Italian persuasion but I change my mind about OCs. This one is very, I mean, very smooth. I was a bit careful on a 3 pass shave but it was a great shave with no irritation at all as confirmed my the absence of any sting from the Wickhams AS. I did have to tread carefully as I thought it could nick me.

I will try again tomorrow and see where we get to but my eyes have been opened up further to which I say thank you and my bank manager does not in any way thank you...
