I took it a little easier today, and still had a couple of irritated spots on the neck, but nothing too bad. Shave was good, but not as close as it was a few days ago. Looks like I'll be swapping out the blade tomorrow...

Sorry, my contribution earlier today showed the wrong razor. My media folders are still a mess after the changeover plus I just had foot surgery yesterday. My mind is seeing Fatboy razors where there are none.

Try again: E2 Fatboy + Astra, Semogue 1470, Mitchell's Wool Fat, Aqua Velva

It makes that little Super Speed look like a wimp!

Vintage Skin Bracer

I switched Fatboys today, but still using the same blade. Very nice shave today, the blade has really smoothed out. Two 2 pass DFS with no cleanup.

I almost never use this Fatty because it is so close to mint I never want to get it dirty. It's a bit of an oddity a G-3 that still has the threaded retaining nut. This was supposed to have changed around F-2, but they must have found some old parts the day it was made.

Still on the 59 dated Fatboy, and on shave #8 with the vintage Spoiler. I'm gonna see how long this one will go.

Took a note from Garrett and dialed the FB up to 8; got the closest shave yet with the thing.

9 could be a game-changer! No longer missing the OLD.

Bit of a busy week at work and just catching up on posting photos this week.

Thursday's shave was the Fatboy on 6 with a GSB. The soap was a sample I have that I smushed into a dish. Good smooth shave.

The shave tonight was Tabac with the Fatboy on 8 with a GSB. It was a good shave and won't need to shave until Sunday evening before getting back to work Monday.

G-3 Fatboy on 9 Feather (12)
I don't know if it's the switch in Fatboys, the blade just really breaking in or what, but the last few shaves have been the best. Two passes and almost no cleanup, has been getting me very close to a true BBS. I'm usually ready to get rid of a Feather by now, I wonder if I'm tossing them just before the really get good.
