Probably my best shave ever.
Decided I needed a new brush, went with a TOBS super badger. What a difference in comparison to my omega brush.
Fatboy on setting 4
Rapira blade 3rd use.
Cream TOBS coconut.
Finished with a nivea cream sensitive.
Need a good aftershave that'll go well with the coconut cream.. Any suggestions?

Shave 9
1959 Gillette Fatboy on 5.
Derby Extra, day nine.
Proraso White pre shave cream.
Kiss My Face Lavender shave cream.
Semogue 1800.
Lafe 6oz alum block of alum.
Afta Original aftershave balm.
I had just a couple of places that I had to go over again. I'm not sure if it's because the blade is slowly falling off, or my prep. I'll see next shave, definitely.

Day 23, shave 18 - head and throat
Fatboy set to 7, Personna 74 (18), Col. Conk Rio Grande Lavender supplemented with some Dettol Fresh cream
Again reminded that glycerine/melt-and-pour soaps just don't work for me. I love the s net of the Col. Conk but just can't get a decent lather to shave with. I had to add the Dettol to save my skin
Day 24, shave 19 - head and throat
Fatboy set to 7, Personna 74 (19) and Tabac.
Great shave with a classic soap and the P74 is just as smooth as on shave 5.

Shave #15
Fatboy on 7 Gillette Rubie
Cella shave soap. for some reason I really like the smell of this soap. I don't know why.
Today's sample is Captains Choice Bay Rum. I have a bottle of Pinaud Bay Rum and I did not like that either. I guess I am not a fan of the Bay Rum after shaves. 2/5 stars.
Shave #16
Fatboy still on 7 Gillette Rubie
Razorock XXX, I am not a fan of this soap. Lathers a little thin, and hardly has any smell.
Captains Choice Sandalwood. An OK AS

How about a Bay Rum?
Bay Rum is a sweet smelling AS.
If you want PM me and I'll send you a couple of samples that I had gotten in a PIF.

Fatboy Feb. shave #15
Woke up nice and early this morning.
had my coffee and a hot shower
used my CF Preshave gel
AoS peppermint cream
Rooney BeeHive 2 heritage brush
3 passes with my 59 fatty (boxcars)
first pass WTG set at magic #5 , 2nd pass XTG at #5 and 3rd pass ATG set at #7
then some minor clean up around my neck
felt a little old school so i splashed on some Pinaud Clubman aftershave
this month has really showed me just how much i love my fatboy, it was always my favorite razor but after only using it for this many days I have really dialed it in.
i never switched setting during a shave before but i am really enjoying the higher settings on the 3rd pass and sometimes even the 2nd pass.
i have absolutely gotten my best shave of my life this month and im looking forward to trying to top it at some point!

Shave #17
The Test Subject set on 7 with a new Astra blade.
Cella soap, I really think this soap is making my shave a little bit smoother. Man what a good soap this is.
Next sample is Dr. Harrris Marlborough AS. My father smoked Marlborough cigarettes and this AS really has that essence about it. I'll did not like the smell then or now. So it's a 2/5 stars.
