Thank you Ron. The Timeless is a beautiful razor with the fit and finish rivaling my Wolfman. The only exception being the inside of the top plate not being polished.

See you soon.

This Razor really blows my mind - I am using a tool built in the 40's and the blade lines up perfectly - the balance is spot on for me. And I really loving open combs - especially the way I lather - I love nice thick lather ( kinda like canned cream but thicker and the open comb works best. The long comb with the UBER sharp med prep is the perfect combo for me ;-)
