    Mystic Water soap, B-400 Tuxedo
    '59 Gillette 195, Wilkinson Sword blade
    Alum, Proraso Refresh AS lotion

    My regular routine of WTG at 9, 6 for the rest of the shave gave great reduction and zero irritation. Alum swiped glass smooth and cool. DFS for sure.
    While I'm enjoying a month of Fat Boy shaves there's a certain anticipation to using others razors next month. I may continue celebrating Gillette's Finest with Fat Boy Fridays.

  2. I haven't used a Fatboy, or DE razor, in many months, but I have had one close at hand, in case I needed some touch-ups. Does this count???
    The Fatboy Razor is my DE Razor of choice. I have many of them, and still love them.

    The Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #128 brush. I did two passes the Gillette Fatboy and Wilkinson Sword Super Sword blade, I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
  8. JR#127 is looking good. That is a beautiful FB.
  9. Thanks Jim,
    That brush is perfect. I replated the FB.

    '59 Gillette #195, Fresh Feather blade
    Alum block, Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

    Fattie on number 9 for WTG, number 6 for the balance. The shave was flawless into the DFS range. Alum swiped smoothly quiet belying the sharp blade/aggressive razor paradigm. Technique Trumps Tools.

    F1 Fatboy
    Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum
    RazoRock Don Marco
    Satin Tip The Purest

    I shaved worth this setup four days in s route to determine if the new RazoRock Super formula(containing Shea butter, lanolin, and argon oil) could compete with the artisans. Short answer yes. This soap was as good as Stirling and Route 66 in all categories except post shave feel. Although post shave on the Don Marco was very good, it was still edged out pot the artisans by the slimmest of margins.

    Klar’s Rasierseife Mandel, B-400 Tuxedo
    Fourth Quarter '59 #195 & Feather blade
    Alum block and RazoRock AS Wax

    After warming up the Osakan suribachi via John @Sparrow and shaking the Tux near dry I loaded on the quintuple milled puck for about 15 seconds. Easy to build lather in about 30 seconds, Thomas @Straight razor dandy hooked me up with a winner. Perfect thick, creamy, slumping peaks straight razor quality lather. WTG on nine. six for ATG, XTG, G-slides, & chin buffing. Alum was a little tingly on my neck for the couple extra passes. Kind of expect that with a Feather between 6 & 9.

    Thank you Jim @Jayaruh for highlighting our favorite Adjustable Gillette!
