DE SOTD, Saturday, July 27th 2024 Razor : Gillette Fatboy E4. Mfg 1959 4th qtr, any range of aggression. I like using this razor other than the blade tab overhang that can nick a person every once in a while. This razor is well built to last generations and I truly enjoy using it on my birthday year. Bought this razor at a antique store for a decent price($20 Can) & I finally have my birth year razor + I think my father owned also a slim or Fatboy. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning. Blade : Personna Red(2) sharp and smooth. Top tier blade IMO of 7 variants. Soap : Razorock Irish Countryside, very unique scented soap with excellent lather qualities. Excellent soap in all matters. Brush : Yaqi "barber pole" 2band badger, Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, very nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Great handle for folks who like that and this 2band knot is 2nd to none in my collection. Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area. Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG(7)+ ATG(7) + pickups(9 setting). Post shave : Razorock Irish Countryside with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless). Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Gillette Fatboy with a Personna red blade. Have some great shaves!
