Kevin, how is the .95 gap on the Timeless razor? Seems like a scary amount of blade contact.

Hi Din, there is a significant amount of both blade gap and exposure on this razor but with the design of the comb and security of the blade find that it shaves like a milder razor.

I will continue to form thoughts but would say in a relative sense that it feels [to me] similar to the Wolfman standard gap OC that I have on an aggression scale and less than say a Fatip Grande OC.

Optimum angle is very easy to find as well which, along with no chatter, makes for a darn smooth shave.

Since there are plenty of glamour shots posted I broke out my macro lens yesterday and took some detail shots including gap/exposure that I will share after a few more shaves.

I mentioned elsewhere that I really enjoy the heavier comb OC razors [Rake/Bamboozled, Maggard V3, etc.] but have not found a SS alternative. I do like the Wolfman, ATT and iKon SS OC razors but this Timeless bridges the gap between the efficiency and face feel that I personally enjoy.

Hope this helps!

Chris, how is the Wickham 1912 soap? (From what I understand, Darron changed the formula, and it seems the old Super Smooths are on their way out.)

I am getting fantastic results.  I will be using the 1912 all week (I have two flavors, Classic 24- a 'fruity' Adventus and Citrus Musk, a wonderfully pungent citrus) so will know more.   It's definitely a top tier product.

1912 lathers easily and produces an unusually creamy and slick lather for me.

Kevin, that is a lovely new brush!  

Thanks my friend- it really catches the light in person and am very happy with the handle!

That is good to hear! The Super Smooth was already a winner in my book, so I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this new product version.

Thank you for the detailed response, I really appreciate it as I pulled the trigger on one when the price dropped. I'm glad to hear that the razor shaves a bit milder than the blade gap would suggest...I'm a sucker for open combs and especially when the teeth are more rounded.
