Reached for an Adjustable today and realized besides my Progress and Mergress I have’t had any in rotation for a while so the 1960 Gillette Adjustable forever the Fatboy! I own two besides this lovely 60 sent up from Texas by a friend @Rev579 the other being a mint cased 1959. Lots of discussions on which Adjustable shaves supreme - Fatboy, Slim, Super...I have all three and I love them all. I travel with this 60 on trips longer than a couple of days. Just nice to have a solid Adjustable on vacay to tailor your shave. Crystal Stainless fell into it today. Great blade of the Personna family.

RazoRock Black Bay is a favourite of mine and I have sang its praises before and often. For those of you that love Bay Rum scents like I do enough can’t be said about how good this smells! Soap and AS are great. Chubby 1 got the ball rolling and I loaded enough to do four or more passes. Hate wasting lather but it loads quickly and well so be careful not to load too much.

Leisurely and thoroughly enjoyable three pass DFS/BBS shave. Wasn’t chasing BBS today and no need really for the weekend is upon us! May you enjoy the last moments of Summer because the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) opens today and that is the “curtain call” for Summer in these parts...enjoy and happy shaves all!

Cool Gary!

 

I guess that means I get to go along with you on your travels!

 

Speaking of travels, here is a travel setup that is pretty old. Since the general purpose of this brush was to be used with a Shave Stick, I used my homemade shave stick and face lathered. Worked like a charm.

Blade: Perma-Sharp Super
Brush: Gillette 102 w/FS Finest 16mm

Not a bad thing! means I don’t drink alone...though a guy sitting at a bar, bourbon in hand talking to a razor would be odd...or gauging this crowd? Perfectly normal!
