January 19 SOTA Fatboy Friday

Good afternoon.

1959 Gillette Fatboy (setting 6)
Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (4)
MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
Angora Soaps Midnight Lavender SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Modessa Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 24 hrs



I really didn't need to shave today, but I wanted to perk myself up because of the dreary weather outside. It's Fatboy Friday and I went with one of my fav soaps for this session. This is my remaining puck from Angora Soaps and when it's gone, then it's unobtainium. C'est la vie! This soap really has a wonderful scent and really makes a fine lather. Here's my lather:



Honestly, I was done after one pass, but I did 2 more per my usual routine. An errorless BBS shave was the result. Did get some nice alum feedback on my neck so I wasn't surprised. Witch hazel and the wonderful aftershave topped the shave. Take care.

Super cool. Lovely Pic. The razor/set is a work of art, the build quality is a joy to hold and behold, almost too nice to shave with, glad mine is a bit tarnished.
