I am starting this thread for @Crazy Chester and to respect @Cal 's FFFMM thread.
This thread in no way replaces the FFFMM thread found here. That is an annual thread. This thread can be used for any time you choose a month to reel in your spending or just want to concentrate on one of your rotations for a bit. This thread can be used in association with the monthly GRUMEs. Whatever you want to do.
Rules Below
1. Do you want to play a shaving game?
2. Do you want to dial in a particular piece of hardware or software?
3. Are you on a restraint?
If you answered YES to any of the above, “Fixed Four” may be for you.
IT’S SIMPLE (Rule 1)
You just pick one BRUSH, one LATHER (soap, cream, stick, etc.), one RAZOR, and one BLADE*.
And you use ONLY those four for the whole month.
*With blades, if you chose an “Astra SP” you would stick to that blade, but use as many of them as you see fit.
That’s the end of Rule 1. Rule 1 is the only rule
Proposed Fixed Four:
Razor: ATT SE1 (Aluminum)
Blade: Schick Proline P-30
Brush: Yaqi 22mm Synthetic
Lather: Proraso Red
Pre and Post Shave stuff isn’t included, so you can do exactly as you please in that area.
You can shave as often or as little as you like.
Typically you’d post saying “I’m in” and telling us your Fixed Four, but you don’t need to.
You can post every day to tell us how you’re getting on (we like that, and we like pics). You can also join us Fixed Fourers without making a single post (it’s entirely YOUR CHOICE).
Open to all types of shavers - DE, SE, Carts, etc. If you have those four components of your shave then you can join.
Other caveats: I won't be calling people in or out of the FFAM. You will need to grade yourself. This is an exercise in the self-discipline of shaving gear. I will say that by the end of Cal's FFFMM, I felt good about sticking to it. You probably will too.
Enjoy yourself!

No, only one SR.
