Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
After Shave: Proraso Green
Fatboy settings at: (up from 5 yesterday)

No touch-up or repeat strokes. This is as much about technique as it is about finding the best settings on this razor for me.
Another very nice shave. Clean, close, comfortable, smooth. I will probably say this with each shave with the Fatboy...one month with the Slim / Fatboy will not be enough time for a certain, clear determination, but initial impression is that the Fatboy in my case, (YMMV) provides me with a more comfortable shave. Essentially the same closeness, but the Fatboy takes the lead on comfort. Who knows, maybe it would be reversed if I used the Fatboy first as my intro to adjustables. That's where I experienced my steeper learning curve.
Enjoy your shaves. I may actually skip tomorrow.
(I'm on vacation you know!)
Cheers!
