  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed
  • Blade: My-Blades (6)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Reserve Fern - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Reserve Fern - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Bergamot Lavender - Witch Hazel & Aloe
  • Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdP

The last shave with the My-Blades wasn't great. The blade seems to be a tad picky about which razor I use it in. This time it was back to working well in the Red Tip. When I start a fresh blade, I'm going to attempt a side-by-side with a Bolzano to test my theory that these are what Bolzo's used to be before they moved to Egypt.

I'll be interested to see how close you think the My-Blades is to the Bolzano and Elios in performance. They sure do look alike!
