Today was reserved for the 60 Fatboy which I haven’t reached for in awhile. Loaded up a no name brand blade that was purchased in Portugal while the family was on vacation. While not the sharpest of blades they were smooth. 3 passes and a DFS/BBS finish. Now I could have done another buffing pass but I was happy with the result. Happy Monday!

Overall a great shave, especially after yesterday's **** show that actually left me with a zit/possible ingrown hair.
Razor - Ikon SBS with Dorco Prime Platinum. Formidable setup. Great blade. Cool Razor
Brush - RR Plissoft 24 Barrel
Preshave - Prep Cream
Soap - Barberia Bolognini. VERY sweet. Very soft. Italian Almond/cherry soap. Excellent.
Aftershave - Furbo Vintage Blue. Awesome. The post shave feel of this incredible. Even with the over the top menthol hit on this cold day, it's quickly becoming one of my favorite aftershaves.

Overall a great shave, especially after yesterday's shave that actually left me with an ingrown hair.
