First shave using this weapon.
Found this razor intuitive and easy to use, just felt good. Two passes and a touch up and achieved a BBS. The shave was smooth with no cuts, nicks or irritation. I have to say that I am impressed. I also like the contemporary arty look of the Timeless.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. :)

 
Semogue Boar, Haslinger Ringelblumen, Bengall, Witch Hazel, Viet Cheap'n'Smelly
Nice thick bowl lather today and a quick two passes with the Bengall for a nice shave.Spewy kid isn't so spewy now and broken kid still broken.
Had to pick my shave time between getting them into shower/bath and getting dinner organized.

Lovely straight. If I'm going down the straight path (;)) I definitely need a Thiers Issard 'Jewel of France'.
What is it like to use at 5/8 or is it larger?

Think I'll bring out the boar brushes too next week as something different again.

It is a 6/8"and shaves really nicely though I've got some honing issues at the moment I'm sorting so I don't think I've got this blade singing to it's full potential yet. The Carbonsong steel is nice to hone and shaves smoothly. I don't think you can go too far wrong with a TI though if you google them they seem to have some reputation for having problems with finish on their razors but both of mine (closing stock from Alenka and Sam) are very nice.
