Hi all,
I had a brilliant shave this morning with the Alpha Outlaw Evolution TI.
In my opinion, Steve from Alpha shaving works created a masterpiece with this razor.
It shaved as smooth as butter when paired with a new Wizamet Blade.
Considering the outlaw has no blade feel to speak of the efficiency level of the shave is very impressive.
It definitely won’t disappoint those of us like myself who love efficient close shaving razors.
It’s not the cheapest of razors as with many of the titanium offerings, but in my opinion it’s one that you’ll keep forever if you can get your hands on one.
In comparison to the stainless steel version with a similar handle I felt this one was even smoother shave wise with equal efficiency and of course more nimble with its lighter weight.
All in all a stunning razor in every way (again as always this is just my opinion).

The DLC-Yaqi Oud’s soap is a slick tallow based offering it gave me good cushioning and a nice aftershave feel with a pleasant scent to boot.

Finished off so nicely with Genuine Ogallala bay rum and sandalwood aftershave.

One pass WTG one pass ATG done no touch ups.
No nicks No worries.

Cheers.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower – the perfect way to soften the beard and prep the skin.
Soap: Geo. F. Trumper Spanish Leather – rich, warm, and masculine.
A slick lather and timeless scent that never fails to elevate the experience.
Brush: Morris & Forndran 1" Blonde Badger, Natural Horn handle – beautifully crafted and a joy to use.
The badger knot has just the right spongey backbone.
Razor: F.R. Wellmann Gold Medal No. 3 – courtesy of @Blackie. This Altona Hamburg classic is a stunner.
Still amazed by the edge – it sings on the strop, giving off that perfect "zing" with each pass. A real pleasure to shave with.
Aftershave: Ogallala Bay Rum & Sandalwood – bold and spicy with just the right touch of warmth to complement the soap.​

@Blackie – G’day mate, hope everything’s good across the Tasman. Still thoroughly enjoying your father’s Gold Medal. It’s a gem, and each shave with it reminds me of the craftsmanship and history behind these old razors.
