[muiriddin]

Shave 8
Fatboy set on 5
First use ever of a Polsilver SI blade
Semogue OC Boar
Dapper Dragon Arctic Wyrm
Nivea Cooling SB

Wow three passes of smooth 195 Adjustable goodness! I can see why the PolSilver Blades come at a premium based upon this morning's shave. I am already pricing bulk packs and am only one shave in...

What a way to finish Fatboy February!

Arctic Wyrm is a favorite of mine and I like continuing the menthol goodness with Nivea Cooling SB.

Until next year everyone!

Fatboy Feb. shave #17


Damn fine shave this Monday morning!

A nice hot shower followed by my normal CF preshave gel.

old spice lime cream in my scuttle
B&B 10th anniversary boar brush
59 fatty with a shark SS blade on 3rd use, first pass WTG set to #5 , 2nd pass XTG set to #7 then 3rd pass ATG set at #9
was a damn fine shave but not as good as i would like, i got a little fast and loose at the end during my clean up and did not hit a trouble area on my right side and when rubbing my fingers there ATG i can still feel it a bit

then a cold rinse followed up with some CC lime aftershave

Happy Monday!

SOTD 2/29:
FB Lazy Dog on 5
Polisilver - 3x
TOBS Eton College
Surrey boar
Bootleggers Bay Rum
Tabac EdC

+1 for Eton; only have a sample but nice.

Also appreciated: NOS Surrey brush ... found in an antique store, looked never used, it's broom-like stiffness is refreshing.

Month may be over but I keep using the same razor until the blade is done.

I'll post the final table sometime tomorrow. Take a look and let me know if you want any updates.

I also think it would be fun to see everyone's first post-February SOTD. Come back and show us what you decide to use after a whole (short) month curbing your RAD with the Fatboy.
