That’s cool. Looks like the razor and brush are a matching pair.

I meant to ask how is the smoke scent on the Leather and Smoke? Is it strong? Or is the leather more predominant?

You know I would say the leather is slightly more prominent but the Tobacco is definitely there to play. Both blended well together in my book.

2019 Shave # 78 ( 133 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Timeless .68 OC
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (1)
Brush: Rubberset 400 w/Synthetic
Soap: @CBLSoap.com California Sunrise
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Swiss Pitralon
Fragrance: Pierre Cardin

Haven't had the Timeless out for a drive in awhile so loaded a fresh Rapira Platinum Lux and went to work. Lather was my next CBL (California Sunrise) in rotation leaving only 1 more to go and finishing all 16 different scents. I could live with only CBL soaps easily and still enjoy variety although it would be a narrower then preferred pool of soaps. Looking forward to adding more of his as they come out. Enjoyed a nice shave with the Timeless but get just as good a shave with the Game Changer .84 with less effort and am seriously contemplating selling the Timeless to add to the paypal Shave Den fund. I may get a Brass .38 SB Timeless if I do. Only reason for keeping the SS .68 OC is I think it looks sexy and I'm not sure that's enough to justify it. Topped off with the Swiss Pitralon and will and the PC before heading out the house. Have a GREAT day Cadre !!!



Also got word my 6s is completed and ready to come home. Burnt Bronze and Dull Brass 2 tone finish. Mailed it March 6th and notified it's done March 16th. If you've ever used Delta Echo like myself and had the 11 - 12 WEEK wait this is crazy fast turnaround time !!

Great combination of shaving elements this morning Dave! It all really sounds pretty good to me. I love the look of your refinished razor! Man those guys do some good work! I just might need a Purple and Gold Razor of some sort!

Thanks Don, I dropped the name of the Cadre to him and said he may see more after mine gets back and seen. I know Bill in Oneida wants a UT Orange and White.

Looks nice. Can’t wait to see it in your SOTD pics.
I’m having the same thoughts on my Timeless.

Thanks KJ. Jury is still out but leaning towards a sale even though I do enjoy it. Can't help contemplating what it could turn into..........ah the joys of ADHD

Nice shave Dave. As I mentioned elsewhere, I’m very impressed with the turnaround time. Looking forward to your in-hand impressions.

I don't know. I wouldn't spend that much on a zamak head myself, but ask them www.northshorerazors.com

Was a favorite of my Uncles and I dig it. Thanks

When I see your blue hand bottle, my first thought was someone reached into the blue RV toilets

Like from Vegas Vacation hahaha! Classic!

 

[Shavewizard420]

Great stuff Dave! Delta Echo has some awesome looking color combinations that take a plain ol vintage razor and bring some flair and color to a classic piece. I think it is a interesting idea to revamp and customize a razor to look exactly what you envisioned. Its a beautiful razor and hope you are happy with the results!

Great shave Dave! I’ll admit, the artistry of the Timeless is leagues above the simplicity of the GC, but it’s be a shame for the Timeless just to sit!
