Fatip Friday was upon me again and what a Friday it is. Last time around I thought the blade was done, but today was super smooth again. Three passes and the baby bottom appeared.

I used short almost buffing like strokes this time - seemed to work. Lather was a bit on the drier side, but still have good support to the blade and razor.

Today’s shave was also my prelaunch for OCtober. Looking forward to it!

Favorite Artisans Week / SEptember

Prep: P.A.A. Cube 2.0 (face wash)

Razor: American Safety Razor Company
Blade: Gem Stainless Steel PTFE

Soap: P.A.A. Sacre Bleu CK-6
Brush: Van Der Hagen Pure Badger aka "Scritch Monster"
Bowl: Bluff Cove Pottery

Post 1: P.A.A. Alum No-Slip Grip System w/ Dry Dock System
Post 2: Dickinson's Enhanced Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Astringent w/ Menthol & Eucalyptus
Aftershave: P.A.A. Sacre Bleu
Post 3: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry w/ Hyaluronic Acid


In honor of this final day of Single-Edge September 2022 I chose to use my vintage American Safety Razor Company razor. This was my first time using this beautiful razor so I was excited to say the least.

The razor is exceptional light and has fantastic audible feedback. I know some don't like light razors but in my opinion one of the best qualities of light razors is that they tend to have a very enjoyable audible feedback.

I did a four-pass shave, with, across x2 and against. With the Gem blade on its fifth use it cut perfectly. I did some against the grain buffing and ended up with a super smooth bbs shave.

The Sacre Bleu CK-6 soap was amazing! The performance of the CK-6 base is out of this world with slickness and cushion. The scent is a an homage to Aqua Velva and in my opinion is a 10 out of 10.

I finished the shave of with some matching Sacre Bleu aftershave and was swimming in the awesome mentholated scent. I find it highly addictive by the way.

All in all Single-Edge September was an unforgettable amazing month. I finally pulled out, cleaned and used many of my single-edge razors that I'd never used before. I've learned a lot and gained new experience that I'll never forget.

If you're not a single-edge user I highly suggest you pick one up and give it a try.

Rock on gentlemen and enjoy your shave.

Absolute best lather from this soap. Rich, creamy, and very slick!! Whip-up up perfectly with the excellent brush. Somehow...the splash just goes well with the soap! A nice relaxing shave with the razor and blade combo. Uneventful 3passes for a bbs-dfs finish...
