This may have been the last run of this brush with its current knot. Just received my Tuxedo and Cashmere knots, and this guy is getting a transplant.

Personna Red (shave #6)
Rooney Pure Badger
B & M Night Music soap and a/s
Yep! Had to bring out the Night Music again! Nothing of any note to report - good shave, no nicks, no irritation - little to no sting from the aftershave.
I like my Fatboy, but I'll be glad next week when February is over. I have 3 new acquisitions I want to try out - a '56 Blue Tip, a '51 Black Tip SS, and a Contract Tech with gold head/base plate.

@tipster_621 just reminded me. Last year with about a week to go, I asked everyone to chime in with their planned 3/1 shave, as well as come back and show their first post-February SOTD. I think it's interesting to see what everyone reaches for after a full month of monogamy.
And another; toned it down a couple numbers, though.
The poor soap I'm using - Willy 3017 - isn't giving a lot of searoom.

Hmmmm... Of the 3 I mentioned earlier, I believe I'll be reaching for the Blue Tip SS. The Black Tip SS probably shaves the same as my early '50 NDC SS, and the Contract Tech probably isn't that much different than the other 2 post war Techs I have. I want to see for my self just how mild the Blue Tip actually is. I'll probably break out one of my Chiseled Face samples that I haven't tried yet.
That's a good idea about plans for the 3/1 shave, @gwsmallwood!
Last night 2/21
Fatboy E-4 setting 6 (bumped it up 1)
Stirling Executive Man Soap
Omega 10066
Osma Alum Block
Stirling Executive Man Aftershave
I must confess that I slipped in 2 shaves with my black beauty 84, because I was on a business trip and didn't want to take my fatboy with me. That black beauty has become my travel razor lol.

2/22/2017 shave:
EJ Super Badger, FB on 8, and B&M Latha Oceana. I don't recall using the Latha with the FB yet, it was a great match, I think I forgot how good the Latha is (this is the only B&M I've tried and I feel like I will be purchasing more soon).
Hmm, I think I will reach for the Rockwell 6S when I am done with FB Feb.

Personna Red (shave #7)
Ever-Ready 100 boar
Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber
Clubman aftershave
Decided to go with the ER100 today - It's a NOS I picked up a couple of months ago, still in the box. I like it - it's a good stiff brush, and the bristle tips have split a bit to soften it up some. The only thing I don't like about it is how small the knot is. I'm going to have to get a nice Semogue or Omega boar the next time I order something. I know I've said this a thousand times, but the GTB/Clubman combo is out of this world!
