thank you Stuart.is been a pleasure knowing you as well.i honestly wassn't expecting this ..take care.

 

Oh, wow. No, I hadn't heard. Dang. This has been a great place to hang out and chat with people. Sad to see it go. I'm on Instagram with the same username if anyone wants to keep in touch we me.

 

I also just joined there. Not sure how much I'll be over there but I at least check it out. Again same user name as hear. And it even brought up my same avatar automatically somehow. Kinda cool but surprising.

happy birthday Greg.

 

Received my E4 Fatboy and shaved with it for the 1st time a couple days ago. This one looks and works pretty good. got 2 vintage razors now, the new-type long comb which I think I like the best due to my preference for open combs, and this beautiful fatboy. My only complaint is I wish I could break it down to clean it. My RAD dictates me to break the razor down after shaving, remove the blade, and clean and dry it all.

 

very cool.being an E4 it has a screw in the end of it's handle.the proper tool comes available once in a while on the bay,i would review "how to" videos on you tube before attempting.the later f-3 up fatboys have a circlip instead of a screw,a little trickier to take apart..a good soak in just boiled hot water and Dawn detergent will clean the innerds and a good scrub with Dawn and an old toothbrush will take care of the rest..

 

I appreciate this info and plan on doing exactly that prior to my next shave with it. Thanks!

 

Thank you. It was a pretty good day.

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Lea Menthol Shave Cream
Jayaruh #98 Synthetic
1905 Gillette Double Ring
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The Lea Menthol Shave Cream was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #98 Synthetic Brush. Two Passes and touch ups with the 1905 Gillette Double Ring Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen Skin Bracer AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Beautiful razor and setup.
