Aftershave: Ethos Grooming Essentials - Succès Skin Food - Splash
Fragrance: Floris of London - JF - Eau de Toilette
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Wonderful shave today. Very citrus with the grapefruit note in Firefighter, the pineapple note in Succès, and the lemon note in JF. Although very cold (for Maryland), it was a beautiful, sunny, sunrise this morning that put me in the mood for this setup.
The Blackbird Ti gave me a great shave, as it always does. The tuck of My-Blades that I’m using was a gift from u/VisceralWatch. I’m certainly not an aficionado of DE blades, and I’m more interested in edge quality than on optimizing the number of shaves possible from one blade. That said, I’ve found the My-Blades to be very nice in the way that the Astra Superior Platinum is nice. Not ultra sharp, but sharp enough, and with manufacturing that allows for consistency of sharpness across the first 5-10 shaves [I normally ditch a blade after this number of uses]. Thanks to Mr. Watch for letting me try these.

Mhm, now I want a Firefighter shave, but I just finished preparing my SOTDs for the week.
