I didn't take photos today, but I did use a Fat Boy yesterday that worked so well that there was nothing to shave today:
Razor: 1960 Gillette Fatboy; adjustable set to 5
Blade: US Personna Lab Blue, circa 2013 (1)
Brush: Muhle Silvertip Fibre Synthetic, medium size
Soap: Stirling Texas on Fire
Rating: 9.25
Yesterday early afternoon's shave on 2+ days of growth. BBS after WTG/XTG/ATG passes, but a couple nicks. My neck was very irritated before showering or shaving, for some unknown reason, and this irritation persisted during and shortly after the shave - but I am not blaming the irritation on the shave - so I deducted from the rating because of this, anyway.
Carbon steel blades definitely feel smoother in the Fat Boy than any stainless blades that I have tried in it so far (many brands), but yesterday's shave with the Lab Blue blade was so close that I had nothing to shave this morning!

Nice shave today with a Gillette blade.
