Post: Alum, Listerine, WH
It's Friday and, for the first time in a bit, I'm doing a Friday Fatboy shave. The razor du jour is an F4 Fatboy which was a generous gift from
@cliffb599. This one came to me with a stuck adjustor as a possible parts razor for a bent G2 that I recently pick up. Instead, I was able to able to free up the adjustor and this is my first time taking it for a spin.

As for the shave... In short, the Fatboy performed as well as any and the result was everything I would have expected. The result was a very nice near-BBS with no issues or irritation.
For the first year or so after I started this journey in Sept. 2015, I despaired of ever having a Fatboy, given the prices they were commanding. My first and, until recently, only one was the result of a very generous trade with
@RyX (L). Now, I seem to be having something of an embarrassment of riches with two in good user condition and a self-repaired G2 (not pictured here) which I've yet to try. Interesting times...
