Feb. 27/2017 Monday Razor: Fat Boy (set on 6) Blade: Personna Comfort Coated (1) Cream: Proraso Red Brush: VDH Badger Pre Shave: DIY AS: Hibco Butter Balm Newspaper Date: Nov. 22.1944 I had forgotten how great Fat Boy is, given the fact that I`ve been trying a bunch of different razors. With 2 passes, WTG/ATG and a minor clean-up, I do believe a BBS is in order. Happy Camper wishing the same or better for all. God Bless. Bill
It is a nice simple Bay Rum and is available for under $3 a bottle at a bodega across the street from my work. Honestly if I couldn't get it that easily, I would probably skip the after shave.
