That would be a cool one, but I don't have one of those razors and would not be able to participate.

This is pretty wild. I was standing there, thinking about which razor to pick up. Pretty wild, indeed!
Forgot to post my final shave of Fatboy February. Fantastic shave, loved everything about it. Finished up with my home-made aftershave! Ready to try my hand at the Beast now.
For the finale, I decided to treat myself to a very special setup:
Proraso green with two very fluffy blades, it was a nice Treet.
I skipped the shave.

We're spending the day at my mom's after church today, so I'll try to update the table and run some statistical analyses when I'm back at my computer.
I wanted to thank everyone for joining me this month. I'm glad this idea got so much support, and I enjoyed all of the pics and hearing about all of the different ways we all use this wonderful razor. I hope everyone else enjoyed it As much as I did.
Now we can all stop neglecting the rest of our babies until the next challenge comes along.

It felt a bit odd shaving with an OC razor, today!
It was definitely a change! I used one of my straights
I used a Gem Pushbutton today, did not give me as good a shave as my Fatboy. I hope this razor does not ruin all my other razors for me

I did Slantember last year with my 37c. I might do the same again this year. I enjoy some of my other razors so much more now, that it could be the 37c's last chance to stay in the den...

I've got about another week of blade trials to finish up, but I'm already starting to think about my other razors too. I'm pretty sure they miss me...

Very curious to hear what you think. Make sure to post your thoughts for us over in the Zoo.
Garrett, I have to thank you once again for running this whole adventure. I shudder to think how much time you had to spend poring over all the posts and keeping that table up to date on a daily basis. That's really something.

You're very welcome. I'm a bit of a nerd, so I find that sort of thing fun. Sometimes I wonder if I should leave engineering and go after a data analyst job of some sort...
I'm still using my Fatboy but it's not as exciting as it has been recently.
It's kinda lonely being the last man standing.

I'm still with ya for another week. Still have Permasharps, Feathers, Polsilvers, and Astras again before finishing up blade trials.
Well I went back to the 34C today, but first time with a fresh Personna lab blue blade. Holy cow it is the best shave I have had in a month! Only got myself once on my neck. No jaw line problem or anything. Makes me think I need to turn the Fatboy up more, but I at least had the month using it as a less aggressive razor to build technique. So for me FBF is a great success. Going to finish out this week with the 34C, but think I am going to go back to the Fatboy next week to try more aggressive settings.
Using any of the razors has been an adventure for me. As long as I actually get up when my alarm goes off I have plenty of time to enjoy it and get a good shave in. As long as you enjoy using it just stick with it. I still have to try my other 4 razors besides the 34C, Fatboy, and 40's Super Speed as those are all I have used so far.
