Thank You Gary but it's handle is too short. I'm having issues with my left hand/wrist and am unable to shave using both hands. What a pain.

DE SOTD, Sat, May22nd 2021

Razor: Gillette Fatboy E4- Mfg- 1959 4 qtr, excellent adjustable, easy to load, nice weight, some blade overhang.
Blade: Rapira platinum lux(3)- excellent blade, sharp & smooth reasonable longevity.
Soap: Razorock Countryside, mild scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Aqua High Mountain silvertip badger, great lather generator, soft tips, nice scrub + excellent lather painter. 1st time using a badger, a dense hair packed brush, Yaqi best brush for pricing! Need a few more shaves to enjoy the best of the brush IMO.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG(S-7) + ATG(S-8) + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock Emperor with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + 1 weeper = excellent shave with my Gillette 1959 Fatboy with a Rapira lux blade.


Have some great shaves!

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap
Olivewood Silvertip
Gillette Fat Handle Old Type Frankenrazor
Personna Super (47)
CWR
Osage Rub

For this week, I pulled out a blade that I used in a longevity test years ago. I got up to 46 shaves and got bored. I decided to set it aside and try it again later. Well, this is the later. I will be using it this week. I will strop it with my Twinplex Stropper after each shave. Here goes.

Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap lathered well with the Olivewood Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Fat Handle Old Type Frankenrazor with a Personna Super blade (47) gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

It's not possible to have a bad shave day with this setup.
