    First Fatboy shave
    Preshave - mentholated Col Conk Lime, lather, hot rag, and rinse
    Razor - E1 Fatboy, very clean acquisition from Deer Lodge, Montana. Came with stiff doors, but I tweaked the safety bars last night and now it is a smooth operator.
    Blade - SuperMax Blue Diamond platinum (5)
    Lather - Arko, face/bowl hybrid lather, custom pearwood badger/boar mistura
    Postshave - alum, hops infused witch hazel, 50/50 bay rum Captain's Choice/VIBR DF56A378-A361-4562-BCDC-82A95631942D.jpeg
    Two pass and touch up on 5/3/3. A fine, smooth first performance from the Fatboy, exceeded expectations for a very close shave with minimal alum feedback and just a little of that Pinaud burn.

    best of both worlds,the 1948 aristocrat jr is a brit made safety bar flat plate head with the u.s early superspeed handle /knob assembly..also has the full doors like a senator/sheraton..the coolest superspeed imo..one year only..the next crat jr had the rocket handle/mechanism..and it's serviceable if you have the proper holt screwdriver..
