Timeless .95 OC w/ Scalloped Top Cap and 85mm Barber Pole Handle
Gillette Nacet
Paladin Chief 28mm in Somerset
Barrister & Mann Reserve "Cool" Soap
Barrister & Mann Reserve "Cool" Splash

Great shave today! I'm loving the new Timeless 85mm Barber Pole Handle, I much prefer the 85mm vs. the 100mm. I had read somewhere that the Gillette Nacet was a good pairing with the Timeless .95 OC, I'd never used a Nacet blade, but today popped one in for my shave and it was definitely a good pairing for me! Smooth and efficient! I have used the Timeless with Pol Silver, Gillette Platinum, Gillette Silver Blue, and Personnna, and for me the Nacet shines in this Razor!

Have A Great Day!

Razor: Charcoal Goods L2 SB Magnum
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
Brush: WW 'Tyrion'
Soap: Grooming Dept. Yuzu

I forgot how smooth and efficient the lvl 2 plate is from Charcoal Goods, in three passes with a tiny cleanup on the neck, I have a wonderful feeling BBS shave. I had to give Yuzu another try after feeling a slight tingle my last go. This time, it was perfectly smooth and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all during the shave. I don't really know what it was; maybe that fall is coming so early here in southern Italy and my allergies have been hammering me, I can't explain it.
