Excellent picture and setup Clint. Have a good week. Your Timeless looks great with that handle.

Thank you Doug. The Timeless is quickly moving up my favorite razors list. I hope you have a great week as well.

Prep: Lots of hot water to the face and a smearing of Proraso preshave
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: Kai (5)
Brush: Maggard Razors 24mm Purple Swirl
Lather: Dr. Jon's Savannah Sunrise
Post: Lucky Tiger then Alt Innsbruck
Adult Beverage: Stone IPA

Oof. Definitely time to change the blade. While not a bad shave, it wasn't super comfy. It may have also been my lather. It just wasn't right. I probably used too much water in my brush. Alt Innsbruck is such a nice scent.

I got a pile of soaps in the mail today from a fellow shaving enthusiast. They include a wide array of Van Yulay samples, two Henri et Victoria soaps, Maggard Razors Chai Tea, Otoko Organics, Vitos (I think?), a nearly full tub of Shave of the Gods from Van Yulay (which smells great!), Fine American Blend, and two soaps from a soapmaker unknown to me, J Davis Soap Company.
