DE SOTD, Sat, Oct 9th 2021- Hard to beat a smooth and Sharp blade like the GSB with a Gillette Fatboy gliding it IMO.

Razor : Gillette E4 Fatboy- Mfg 1959,4th qtr- Excellent adjustable razor, well designed and built to last generations of shaving.
Blade: Gillette silver blue(GSB)(1)- Sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity, top tier blade for myself, 1st shave will tell most folks how excellent a blade it is, Cadillac of Gillette blades IMO.
Soap: Speick, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 22mm (AKA, ever-Helpful)2band badger, great lather generator, soft tips, excellent scrubber + good lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush (24mmCashmere) 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.
Post shave: Witch hazel beard area cleaning + Nivea refreshing AS + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer lotion (excellent + scentless balm)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Gillette Fatboy with a GSB blade.

Have some great shaves!

I had my first shave with a New long comb. The blade feel was excellent. I really enjoy the sound it makes. I’m not sold on the handle so I might try the head on a longer, more substantial handle. In any event, I really enjoyed my first shave with it and look forward to more!

 

fine 1st shave with the new lc.welcome aboard..

fine gillette shaves gents..cool gear..

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Definitely one of the best-executed handles of any razor. It's really a standout, especially for Gillette razors of the era.

My most recent vintage Gillette shave was with a 1940s Super Speed and Wizamet Super Iridium blade on its first use and my first time using both the razor and blade. The shave was very close but I had some irritation along the jawline. If I had to pass judgment I'd say that the blade is very sharp but not as smooth as others I have used recently. I'm wondering how a second shave will feel.
