Fatboy February 2017

[Ice-Man]

Where did you get the glass bottle for Pinaud - I honestly really despise the looks of my plastic bottle...

I got it off the Bay, I have 2 now and the clubman smells much better now its been decanted into glass.
This is the 2nd one.

Another great shave, #25. All with my 59 Fatboy dialed to 5, two pass, Arko, witch hazel and a used Personna and stalwart Feather. I've haven't used a de blade into the teens before but I haven't tried either.
I think I'll stay with this combination until the Feather gives up.

Last night's shave. Fatboy with a GSB. Decided to go for William's soap. Haven't had much success with William's before; dissipating issues and rough shaves mostly. Today I really soaked the puck and loaded it like I hated it, and actually got an alright shave. Not the best, but not as bad as previously. Can't decide whether to try keep trying to improve with William's or just chuck it.

Just getting in my very first shave with a DE ( since 1973 that is), with my newly purchased E2 Fatboy and my very "starter" shaving kit.

I have a very light beard and the adjustablity of the razor, the compactness and slight heft have given me confidence at this beginning of a new learning experience. Onward to March! Just have my razor set to three - and taking three passes. Baby steps.

So far no blood

Tuesday -Day 28
E3 FB on 4
Personna Red (shave #11)
Mohawk 5-341 boar
B&M Night Music soap and aftershave

Had to finish up the month with the Night Music - love this stuff! Very good 2 pass shave. Very little burn with the aftershave. Looking forward to tomorrow's shave with a new-to-me Blue Tip, a fresh blade, and soap (CFG Tradewinds) and aftershave (CVS Old Spice knock off) I haven't tried before. I've heard good things about the CVS or Family Dollar Old Spice. I tried the new P&G Old Spice and couldn't stand it. Excited to try some new things!

@gwsmallwood - are we coming back to this thread to post our 3/1 shaves??

Wrapping up 100% participation in Fatboy February with a very very good FB shave on 9 with a LORD blade.

Straight WTG, nothing else- and no discomfort.

Those LORDs are smoother than you think; wowing at the shave. Home-made vetiver splash.

Final Tally - 24 shaves
Head Shaves - 13
Neck Shaves - 11

Since my Delta Echo Slim is taking a little longer than I thought, I was able to finish out the month all Fatboy. Still not decided, but I think my first shave of March will probably be the Fatip Grande.

@gwsmallwood - are we coming back to this thread to post our 3/1 shaves??

Yep, that was the intent. Mine will be a 3/2 or 3/3 shave though...

A full month with my Fatboy and one blade only and looking forward to going back to my Gillette old type single ring razor or my OCMM single edge razor and of course other razors as well!!

Finished February with another good shave. My Fatboy could use a replate, but performed great. Used it 26 days this month only using another that I just received last week.
