    Ooh, what did you get?
    I say add to the collection! Well unless what you're thinking of parting with is something I want.

    The Fat is cheaper at Connaught Shaving in the UK, about $22 for the ceramic dish and soap (17.40 pounds). The refill puck from there is about $8. Yes, there is international shipping, but they're fast and relatively cheap.

    I thought about buying one of their hybrid razors but with a 50% off coupon, I bought a limited edition Gunmetal Gray Genesis.

    I am going to have to evaluate getting rid of some of the stuff. I am just not sure what at this point.

    My buddy Wade has one and it is just gorgeous. Pictures really don't do it justice. He got his on a 50% off sale and I have been waiting for one to pull the trigger.

    "Missed the off button" he said. Fuzzy - I didn't think you had one!
    Humm, OK, I'll look them up. I was also thinking about Tabac AS. They just might have it being closer to the maker. Thanks Perry!

    I don't recall you blade of choice, but when I moved in a similar fashion I tried to extend to the polar opposites.

    In the end I found I like blades!


    Maybe some more than others

    Beautiful setup Mark!
    Awesome shave Bruce! Glad to see you are doing well!
    Rick, as Perry said you can get MWF from Connaught cheaper. I routinely place orders with that that qualify for free shipping so if you want me to throw something into the cart for you just let me know. ALSO, I think I've come to the conclusion that The Fat just isn't for me. So if you would like my tin of it (sorry no fancy ceramic croc, but it is a nice wide 4"tin) it's yours.
    Awesome Jon! Knowing when to say when is a big accomplishment!
    Fantastic shave Bill!
    Very nice Terry!
    Awesome shave Perry! Congrats on finishing with puck of The Fat! How long did it take time wise?
    Beautiful shot Jim! You are enabling me with the vector. I tried to pick one up on the BST but has 2 minutes too late.
    Excellent shave Patrick!
    Awesome shot Blair! How did you know u was looking at SP bowls? Sneaky enabler...
    Cool razor and great shave Danny!
    Fantastic shave Clint! Sorry to hear that your plans to visit Maya feel through and that she is still experiencing some pain. She will be in my prayers.
    Awesome shave Jason, safe travels!
    Excellent shave Gary!
    Nice video Fuzzy! I'm waiting impatiently for my TNNSER!

    Fantastic shave Jeff!

    I mean move away from what i am using atm 1 at a time and only once I've worn out the blade in use.

    So, i could switch out the soap 1st, go 3-4 shaves, new blade and then switch out the brush for that blade life span and so on and so forth.

    Kent shaving soap is cheaper and is just MWF rebadged.

    I don’t have the exact dates, but I would guess a little over two years. I use it once a week except for the summer or holidays, so once a week for two years would be 104 weeks. I’m guessing about two years, then.

    Too bad missing out on the Vector. Thanksgiving isn't too far off, maybe a Black Friday sale. Of course you're welcome to take mine for a test drive.

    Depends on whether you have something you’re fine with moving on from, I suppose. I had a few items I was good ditching this week when I got some stuff in...
