    Fatboy February!!!!!

    Grand Blade Trial

    February 15
    Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy (6)
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
    Post - Alum

    I'm feeling the need to get this done before the remainder of my brain ceases functioning after my recent interaction with @Bama Samurai . Nothing he did, but I'm clearly not hitting on all 8 cylinders. Or 6 or however many still run in there. Let's see if I can produce an intelligible shave summary. Let's see....I used a razor, blade, soap, brush. Yep, all good.

    Three passes on 6 on the Fatboy tonight and the Crown Platinum responded with a smooth and near-BBS result. Alum was very quiet other than a couple of stings on the neck. Definitely an improvement over last night's milder setting with the blade. Maybe this blade is the king of the Lord family of blades. It does have a crown on its name, after all. Yep, time to shut up and regroup, I can tell.

    Anyway, very nice result tonight and we'll leave it for tomorrow to see if it can handle the aggressive side of things.

    This is my first game changer knot. It is very dense and soft with a fantastic backbone. It is not quite as soft as a black tuxedo knot, however.

    I am going to experiment with this soap a bit. I really love the scent, it is just incredible. Since this brand is VERY up and coming, I want to give it a fair shot. It seems to be a thirsty soap, but I want to try it a couple more times before giving my final opinion.

    Executive Shaving Claymore S/S Se
    Schick Proline P-20 [ 2 ]
    Alum Rub/Rinse off
    Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion

    Very nice comfortable shave with this Razor/Blade combo, good finish all round. Though not ultra close, the blade may well suit those with sensitive skin as it seems forgiving of errors. Am getting quite accustomed to the considerable weight of this Razor, which certainly prompts the use of a light touch as one is not tempted to apply any pressure to the Razor.

    This week is moving along very quickly. Great shaves are nearly automatic with this setup. The D01 whips up the lather while providing a wonderful scrub. I am enjoying the Vetyver scent of the MdC. A smooth irritation free two pass shave with minimal clean up followed by a splash of Fine Fresh Vetiver and I am ready for some more tax returns. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    Soap: Crowne & Crane Tobacco Leaf and Amber
    Post Care: Thayers Witch Hazel
    Osage Rub
    Alum
    Aftershave: Fine Green Vetiver

    First try of this soap and I have mixed feelings. The scent and post shave feel are both great however it wasn't very slick. The razor more drug across my face instead of gliding. Maybe I need to adjust the amount of water. The alum was silent and it's good enough to try it again. Have a great day folks!

    SOTD February 16, 2017

    Blade: Chinese Schick
    Razor: Schick M Adjustable
    Brush: Vulfix badger
    Lather: Vulfix Lavender shave cream
    Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Fine Lavender aftershave, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Nice, easy, and comfortable shave this morning. The Schick adjustable on setting 6 was efficient and smooth. The Vulfix cream lathered up easily and is nice and slick. One WTG pass with clean-up around the jaw and neck and I'm good to go for a work day. I also enjoyed the first use of Fine Lavender splash.

    Have a great day!

    Marvelous shave with the Schick Xtreme3 this morning. Excellent result with the Shave Secret oil. Three passes for a dolphin smooth finish. Have a great day friends. :)
