The new Paladin continues to impress with its perfect knot and beautiful handle. The Timeless/UFO combo always commands my respect- it's a truly remarkable shaver. Under the lather made by Grooming Dept. and finished with a splash of Pitralon Classic I'm BBS and smelling great.
Fine 1st shave with the little Japanese Sculpt razor won in the TSD raffle. Chose the little Simpson, but used a big bowl to honor the 'Dry Soap Gang' by whipping up the wet puffy perfection of the springtime Bergamot Lavender. Found the razor to be shave ready as described by the most generous doner @Briscoe described. I find the lightweight of a small 4/8 to require a but more attention to make sure you are on angle. The low weight also needs a more deliberate and touch sensitive stroke in use. Easier to strop. Shaved as well as any of my other straights. I probably get on a low grit pastedbalsa strop to smooth it out a little more. Alum was at the correct level. Finished with a little smear of Trumpers Lime Skin Food. Then the Mentholated Bergamot Lavender AS (coulda went Glacial on this one). Great shave. Be well!

Thank you Sir, it's in the running for King of The Den in my collection, I'm going to start testing it with other AC blades, but the RR Wunderbar slant has some competition...though I just read today Shane has a slant coming!!!
