Not satisfied with last shave from TI#69 and noticed it had a bit of a frown to it. So took it back to bevel set and gave the coticule another chance to redeem itself.
The TI#69 needs a bit more spine and bevel work but the coticule provided a much better edge and shave than last time.

42C on Christmas Day was just a warm up; it hit 44C today on Boxing Day :oops:.
Hence, menthol was high on the agenda. And what a superb shave - the vintage Schick blade was so sharp and smooth in the Blackbird - a gentle touch and I was DFS after 2 passes, and BBS after the third.

Blade: Feather #1

Fragrance: Acqua Di Parma Colonia Assoluta

Thanks to @bomber.79 for the new Razorock razor. It’s very nice and it felt much milder than I expected but it was highly efficient and deceptive, as I did end up with a couple of minor nicks. Hadn’t used a Feather blade in a while too. An enjoyable combination of stuff today. Will try out the 95 with some of my favourite blades too (Astra SS and Gillette yellows).
