    Fatboy February!!!!!

    February 5
    Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Route 66 Sweeney Todd
    Brush - BoS Omega 10066
    Post - Alum

    Crank up the Fatboy to 9 and here we go. The goal is BBS in two passes with some touch up allowed, just nothing resembling even a half pass. The Voskhod delivered near-BBS on 3 last night in the Fattie. So here we go.

    Lather on the Omega was better than average. I am discovering, though, that after using the Semogue the Omega just seems to take a bit longer to load and to face lather. Maybe it's just an illusion of sorts, but I'm digging the Semogue over the Omega - barely. That could change. Both are excellent brushes so it's splitting hairs at this point. (pun was just hanging there waiting, so sue me).

    First pass was completely smooth. At 9. Excellent feel and pass on the blade. Second pass equally smooth and left only a couple of minor touch ups. Yep, the baby showed up. So far it's living up to @Bama Samurai calling it a BBS machine on 9. That's two. Gillette Indian 7 o'clock and the Voskhod. Tomorrow night I'll throw in the Feather for two shaves, 3 and 9, and see if it scores again. Still have the GSB and Sharp Star on deck after that and I'm waiting for any other suggestions.

    Super Bowl is done. Can't say I'm happy with the result, can't say I'm unhappy. Honestly, I'm more of a hockey and baseball guy. Hope you all had a great day and that your Monday starts the week on the right note for you tomorrow!

    IM IN LOVE with Sterlings products but I'd give the soap a 9/10 on lather and a 20/10 on scent it's def worth every penny times 2

    First of all, welcome to TSD, good to have you here. Secondly, you had your shave plan in last week's thread. This week's is up and going. But I want to say, I am sorry for my criticism of this, because I myself had MINE in last week's thread as well, and just corrected it for this week. I've done it before, when I was a lot newer than now. Again, I'm sorry for noting you for something I myself did. I look forward to your future posts.

    @Mr. Shavely, it appears you accepted my apology before I apologized in the first place :).
