Razor: Vintage Gillette NEW head on TSW Bren handle

Brush: Shavemac Americana shaving brush
Soap/Cream: Saponificio Varesino - 70th Anniversary "Settantesimo" Shave Soap

This really is a majestic soap, still a bit ticked about the aftershave - but the APR is a fine alternative!

@Bozley82 Out of curiosity how do you find the Timeless Bronze razor? I'm well aware YMMV but I'm in search of a 'premium' razor without breaking the bank, so to speak... I don't mind a milder razor and for its looks they have me sold but I'm not sure it would be any better than say my Rockwell 6S which is a great razor but feels a tad heavy for my liking. Happy shaves!

Absolutely love it. I like it more than their stainless razors. Its so smooth. It is in the mild category. As far as weight goes i think it would be about the same as a rockwell, but personally i think it shaves a million times better.
 


Razor: Gillette Slim (3.5)
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (1)
Brush: Semogue 1800 Boar
Soap/Cream: Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco

This was a tough one - first shave since Christmas day, requiring many passes with a lot of cleaning stops, along with very hot water.
Nice , smooth shave with zero nicks. I have been favouring the Polsilvers lately for heavy duty use - impressive performance for a DFS :D.

Thanks for the reply(y) I agree it looks amazing and being a Timeless it's built to last so I might just bite the bullet an get one myself. So much for controlling the RAD :nailbiting:

100% agree... especially about how smooth it is. I have a longer bronze handle coming from eBay as it suits my style.... Also waiting on a tub of Renaissance Wax to give it some protection from the patina (I like the new look)

Still being a lazy holiday shaver but decided to have a chin scrape after spending 4 hours hauling "peaches and cream" gravel around the yard for 4 hours this morning.... Rain stopped play but will be doing landscaping for the next 3 days at least ~ 3cu.m of gravel going in and an equivalent area of crappy old mulch to remove :(
