Can I put another B in BBS?? WOW.. just…. wow!! The feather was practically as smooth as the wizamet (possibly down to an amazing lather) but the efficiency went up a notch (or two). Three standard passes with no burn, cuts, weepers or anything except for smooth buttery goodness, the only problem was the shave ending, I really wanted to go another pass but there was nothing left to cut.

Even though the R94 v R96 are the same razor they have a different feel in the hand. The R94 is 10g heavier which doesn’t sound like much but you can definitely feel it when you hold the razor. Add the difference of the feel in the hand of the carbon v steel handle you get the sense your holding a different razor but the shave on the face is identical, which in my humble opinion, is the perfect combination of smoothness and efficiency.

The only issue I foresee is another holding back buying the R95 if the Birch handle becomes available, yep I LOVE this razor that much. There may be a few razors up for sale if they continue to not get used, and the timeless/wr2 are not exempt from this.

Midnight shave, a straight after a couple of wines is madness but life without risk is boring!
I not only survived but thoroughly enjoyed it. This Torrey is so addictive, the full hollow sound is awesome, as is the edge while still being forgiving enough to let me experiment with grips and angles without bloodshed. With and against again for BBS in most areas, but being a sucker for a perfect result I did a final DE clean up to finish. With the KGC again that for the cheapest razor I have punches well above it's weight.
Oh, and Shaver Heaven 🤤🤤🤤
