DE SOTD, Sat, Oct 9th 2021- Hard to beat a smooth and Sharp blade like the GSB with a Gillette Fatboy gliding it IMO.

Razor : Gillette E4 Fatboy- Mfg 1959,4th qtr- Excellent adjustable razor, well designed and built to last generations of shaving.
Blade: Gillette silver blue(GSB)(1)- Sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity, top tier blade for myself, 1st shave will tell most folks how excellent a blade it is, Cadillac of Gillette blades IMO.
Soap: Speick, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 22mm (AKA, ever-Helpful)2band badger, great lather generator, soft tips, excellent scrubber + good lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush (24mmCashmere) wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera Gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Witch hazel beard area cleaning + Nivea refreshing AS + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer lotion (excellent + scentless balm)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Gillette Fatboy with a GSB blade.

Have some great shaves!

Sat 9
Razor Gillette New LC
Blade Gillette London Bridge 2nd
A good shave with this razor and blade pairing. Easy, smooth and comfortable

Sun 10
Razor Gillette British RFB
Blade Gillette Nacet Stainless 3rd
The razor is good but somehow the blade is not...so the shave was a bit scrappy and not so smooth.
