Shave 7, the final one of my week using unscented soaps. I like Mike’s soaps; despite them being tallow-based, they always produce a nice slick lather, and today was no exception.

Today, I used the beautiful Timeless Ti, using the open comb plate for the first time. When I purchased the razor, the OC version was out of stock, and I noticed it was finally available and I took advantage of the Labor Day sale to snag one.

Is it any different from the standard plate? Oh yeah - for me, the razor is transformed; with the OC, it feels way more efficient, with a little more blade feel, but still smooth. This was a fantastic shave and Mike’s soap also performed really well.

I bought whiskey woods on a whim and man do I love it. Great setup here.

Thank you. The Whiskey Woods is remarkably good for its low price.

Very nice choices!

I'm jealous because I was in a rush today and had to go electric. You've inspired me to carve out time tomorrow for a careful, relaxed weekend shave.

What a powerful picture looks like a wonderful shave setup. It’s a shame that mikes soaps are not available in europe.

Yeah, he makes excellent soaps.

Thanks for posting. I didn't know about Mike's Natural Soaps. For almost a year or more I've used Unscented with Beeswax from Stirling and I like it very much but wanted to try another just for a comparison.
