  • Brush: Elite Razor Neo-resinate 26mm Mother Lode
  • Razor: Gillette Aristocrat US (1948-1951)
  • Blade: My-Blades (3)
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Firefighter - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Jack - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


The My-Blades blade continues to offer a very nice, smooth shave.

This was my first use of Firefighter. I like this scent. Certainly subtle but very much to my liking. I get the grapefruit and lavender notes and maybe a hint of sandalwood or cedarwood. I think it pairs well with NO Jack aftershave.

Wow, Your-Blades is balanced perfectly!

Yup, it’s an illusion. Photoshop is my friend.
