  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed
  • Blade: Bolzano (Germany) (2)
  • Blade: My-Blades (Mystery country) (2)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Soap
  • Post Shave: Razorock - Puros - Aftershave

Test #2, where I shaved the left side of my face with a Bolzano, and the right side with a My-Blades. They both felt very similar, but where it was an overall tie the first time, this time My-Blades gave me a better shave.

This concludes my testing, because as tsrblke points out there's no way to know if the blade I have will be the production blade.

Varen was amazing.

Yeah, this is the crux of the matter IMO

Varen was amazing.

Just a fantastic scent. I used it all February this year, and I'm hesitating to repeat it this coming February

You should always hesitate at using the same thing for an entire month :-)
