DE SOTD, Sat March 26th 2022

Razor: Gillette Fatboy E4(AKA$1.95 or 195), Mfg 1959, well made and built to last, my favorite Gillette razor, set at 7 it performs very well, comfortable close shave. That is what folks wanted and received back in 1959 IMO.
Blade: Gillette 7oClock SP (5) excellent, sharp & smoooth + reasonable longevity. Top tier for myself.
Soap: Yaqi Musketeer rapier, very nice mid range scent + great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm 2band badger barber pole, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, great scrubber + great painter.
Pre shave : Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + dollop of Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Yaqi Musketeer rapier AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=excellent shave with my 1959 Gillette Fatboy & Gillette 7oClock.


Have some great shaves!

An old friend of my mom's brought her puppy over during a visit. After she left, I was lucky I still had fingers. They chew on ANYTHING-guess it's normal at that early stage of their lives.

 

So it would seem.

 

Essentially the same shave equipment for me tommorro(Sun)., except for the

Brush-"The Clubman-Pinaud" synthetic

 

Hi Friends,

Here is my belated Wednesday Shave (23.03.2022)


Razor: Fatip Grande // Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium // Soap: Soap Commander Honor // Brush: RazorRock 400 // Aftershave: Aqua Velva

Not much to say. The Fatip is a great little razor. Extremely thoroughly and smooth. In combination with the blade it was a great shave. The soap is a typical Soap Commander. Rich, luxurious lather with fantastic skin care and glide. I am definitely a Fan Boy. The brush had no problems. The Aqua Velva topped it with it ´s great scent. Lovely.

This is it for now.

Enjoy your shaves, take your time and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten
