A huge shout out to @Linuxguile for shipping me his nemesis tub of Mitchell's Wool Fat, and for tossing in a few tucks of blades that I haven't tried before (how did he know)?

I've never tried The Fat before. Often beloved, often maligned - it has been on my list for a while but my no-buy has kept me away...until now.

So I paired up a blade I've never tried before (Shark) with my trusty old 40's Superspeed. I like the Super Speed for testing blades. It's fairly mild and requires a good focus on angle to cut well, but suffers fools gladly and rarely dishes out punishment for mistakes.

I pulled out my (also trusty) 30DC brush (@jtspartan is the man), briefly considered how I should go about lathering this supposedly fickle beast, and launched myself into a haphazard assault on it. I ran some hot water into the tub while I set up my razor (it ain't blooming if it's less than a minute), wet my bristles liberally, and got to whipping. I added a good bit more water, whipped furiously for 30-45 seconds, and was rewarded with a plethora of thick, goopy lather. I'd heard this was thirsty soap, so I hit it with some more H20 and found the sweet spot.

Best. Shave. Ever. This could honestly be a forever setup for me if I were forced to choose. Finished up with some 4711 and BOOM. My wife has even offered to go out with me again. IN PUBLIC!

Shark blades: where's the best place to get them? I need to buy a plethora.

MWF: I'll not be without it again. My face hasn't been this smooth since 3rd grade.

Honestly, if my den consisted of Tabac, The Fat, Williams and Stirling Iced Pineapple, I could be quite content.

OCtober with the FAT

October 21

Razor -Gillette New SC Deluxe - Matthew Lives!
Blade - (2)
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush -Jayaruh #312
Post - Alum

Gotta give Matthew another run tonight with a Sharp Star and it's another Monday so FAT TIME BABY!!! The JR312 faux horse brush is on tap and it's a fun one to use. Easy to load and it lathers just like a natural horse brush. Nice scritch and backbone and a fantastic match with the MWF. Three nice and relaxed passes brought the baby home in fine style and the week is off to a great start, shavewise anyway. Can't complain much about the rest of the day either. Have a great Tuesday!!
