Thanks ObiDon, the FB is my favorite DE, although I now have a Black Beauty being shipped to me this week, can't wait to give this adjustable a go soon!
I'm certainly using mine tomorrow too, perhaps the rest of the week. I'm so glad I got an FB and it wasn't cheap, it's worth the expense though.
I'm with you. It was my second vintage razor, and I have a hard time putting it down. Here's to "FAT Tuesday"

Another very good shave - this time, no issues. The Godrej Menthol Mist cream lathered like a maniac and gave me a BIG freezing sensation.

Boyhood Dream This photo reminds me of the time two years ago when I fulfilled a boyhood dream of pitching off the mound at Tiger Stadium - not the current Comerica Park, but the old Tiger Stadium at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull in Detroit. That stadium held so many memories from childhood and beyond - my wife bought me season tickets to the last season at the old ballpark as a wedding gift. #bestwifeever The tickets included the last game there and the first game at Comerica Park. Anyway, Tiger Stadium has been torn down, but the field remains. A dedicated group of fans has kept the field in playing shape, and in the summer games happen there every weekend. Two years ago, a childhood hero, John Wockenfuss came to the old park to play. I was able to catch his pitches for two innings, then I got to pitch to him for four innings. Just Amazing. At the end, I got him to sign a ball we used. The shave was great, I am hopelessly hooked on B&M Rhapsody and Cologne Russe. The Aristocrat was mild and easygoing, leaving my face smooth and comfy. Russe leaves me smelling great.
