    Razor: Gillette Fatboy E4- Mfg 1959 4th qtr- I really enjoy this razor because it reminds me of my days growing up with father.
    Blade: Gillette Astra SP (3) great blade, Sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity.
    Soap: Razorock Irish Countryside- nice mild scent with excellent creamy lather with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi tuxedo knot 24mm black marble handle [​IMG] - excellent brush for creating lather with cloud like soft tips.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG (5) + ATG (7) + Pickups (7)
    Post shave: Fine Fresh Vetiver with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BbS + no irritation + no weepers =[​IMG]excellent shave with my Gillette Fatboy, it never lets me down.

    The FatBoy was my dad's razor of choice. He had them all but The FatBoy was Heaven to him.. And his Old Spice. :D

    I have a slim also but the fatboy is a little smoother for myself, there must be the weight factor to help it glide or something else? The slim was suppose to a better razor, maybe under the nose but I still have no issues there with either razor. Great razor IMO.

    I used to think the Slim was the best thing since sliced bread. Anything I used had to be a TTO and now? 1930's News and Tech are the greatest thing since peanut butter. They're that good. :cool:
