    Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
    Razor - Gillette Fatboy @ 5
    Blade - Feather Hi-Stainless (#3 and out)
    Brush - Omega 20106
    Soap - Arko
    After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
    Result - BBS

    Introduced the Fatboy to the Feather today. I was quite sceptical given the weight of the razor as I've only used them in lighter tools before, such as my beloved Fat Handled Tech. I took it very easily and actually had it set at three on the first stroke but I quickly realised it needed a little more exposure if I was to finish with anything but BBS. No worries from then on, with the exception of the smallest nick on my bottom lip.
    Nice thick lather once again, and the usual fantastically clean feeling one gets from a truly great blade.

    today's shave
    hot water wash with nuetrogena men's invigorating face wash and a washcloth

    Route 66 A Perfect Gent
    FaTip Grande
    Ladas(1)
    today's shave was nice. Pop Dicks brush performed great. the gent was the start of the show. it made thick luxurious lather that smelled great and left my face soft and soothed. I used the FaTip today, three passes for an incredibly smooth face, although I did knick my ear placing the razor to my sideburn.(little sucker loves to see some blood). nice shave.
    hope y'all did as well, or better.

    Having cleaned up my Type D one more time I wanted to shave with it again. The NOS Schick Plus Plat was giving up the ghost after only four shaves and I wasn't very pleased with it. Tomorrow will be a NOS Schick Super Chromium for comparison.

    Thank you! It was very exciting to watch the making of this razor as well as it is exciting to watch Mastro Livi at work. I watched the making of almost all of my Mastro Livi razors and it is always a wonderful experience!
