- Start date
Isn't that a fixed three if you use a straight?
Only kidding, of course.
actually the 4th would be the equivalent of which finish is used.
balsa
jnat
coticule
ark
Jasper
TOS
slate
synthetic
etc
kinda like switching out a Derby premium to a Feather.

will give this some serious thought tonight and tommorow.Your choice camo, but we'd love your company.
this might change my previously planned lineup for tommorow morn due to test run and/or decision making.
one month is a looooooooooong time for a person like me. surely only PDP can withstand a month's beating!!!!

My FOCS Piccolo has the edge over my Piccolo. Both are enjoyable to use. My Lo Storto has the edge none-the less. Of course, that's my opinion, and the user will always have their personal preference. I'm just saying that as someone who has tried a few Fatips.You could read the *Fatip Slant* thread, it's only 116 pages long (currently).

Better still, let's beam Rave @Raven Koenes, our Fatip Ambassador and Ultimate Fatip Fanboy, up. Are you there Rave?
That is a classy combination! Brush, razor and blade may well end up in my fixed four as well
You can get the Fatip Slant Piccolo now which is very nice. I've been using it most of this month and will be using it in the Fixed Four. The slant shaves very similarly to the standard Piccolo, has most of the same attributes, a very smooth and effective razor. I like the slant a bit more, but don't think it's an earth-shattering difference.Just one question...as I'm on edge to buy it...is FOCS so much better than normal FaTip Piccolo or is it just popular choice now? I'm really enjoying my little FaTip...but seeing here that most of you use slant...well...? Is it?
Progress toward a commitment today. I'm pretty set on my Joseph Rodgers Celebrated India Steel near wedge and MdC Fougere. I think the brush will be the Heritage Collection Klenzo, but I want to check it out with the MdC tomorrow morning before I commit.
The Rodgers is a nice shaver, but not quite up to where it should be. MdC is essentially new to me. And the Klenzo had been very inconsistent thus far. Looks to be an interesting month.
Final commitment and pics the 26th or 27th.
And @camoloc, we can still play with our other toys, just not shave with them. I plan to be cleaning and polishing and rescalling and tightening and stropping and ...

Update with pic.
Will go with Polsilver instead of 7 O'Clock yellow.
Razor: Razorock SLOC with Barberpole handle
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium
Brush: Yaqi High Mountain Badger 24mm
Soap: Razorock Irish Countryside
I will make a change to my line up. I didn't think the R41 would arrive in time, but it has. I have got a couple of very good shaves under my belt with it, so I will go with it.
Brush - Simpson's T3
Soap - Mitchell's wool fat
Razor - Muhle R41 with RR HD handle
Blade - Nacet Stainless
@Cal i didn’t see your four, unless you are using the same four as last year?
I was going to try to wiggle around the rules by swapping different Piccolo handles on my Piccolo Lo Storto throughout the month, but Cal said swapping handles is out. So, I'm making an educated guess that swapping out Proraso scents with the same base (white, red, and green), and using my multiple Omega S-brushes with the same shaped, different colored handles, and same knot size is out as well. I guess this means having to narrow down my fixed four to a fixed four?

Pesky rules....

Proraso White with the Semogue 2010 pure badger. Voskhod in the brass Karve.
Pictured is the B plate on the razor. I assume there is no swapping plates allowed.
