Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Saponificio Varesino and their "Cosmo" soap and ASL. This scent always struck me as ideal for cooler weather. Yes, there is some citrus off the top, but it's intermingled with a warm, slightly sweet & spicy note. All this is playing over a foundation of warm, earthy, woody notes. Wonderful lather built with the Riva Brushes Manchurian badger for two passes (+ touch up) with the Timeless Razor TRBR38 and I finished with the matching ASL & Dior "Sauvage" parfum.

Hope you have a great day.

I'm taking it that you're enjoying the Timeless 0.38 Bronze? It is a great razor and actually a beautiful work of art as well, it really is. I'm looking to pick up the 0.78 OC plate for it eventually. Not sure how I would like it or how it will compare to the 0.95 Ti that I have.

Mike, I've used all three Timeless razors and the 0.78 OC is the most aggressive. I found the teeth of the 0.78 bordering on the uncomfortable compared to the 0.95 with notably more blade feel. Shaving was on tenterhooks and not enjoyable for me. I've also used the Gen 1 CG Lvl3 known for its aggressiveness, but even that was more forgiving in comparison. If you do buy the 0.78 OC plate, take care.
