Hi all,
Been working some odd shifts at work and haven't had time to post.
This is my shave at 9:30 PM (EST) on Thursday so I guess it counts as my Friday shave.
Gillette G3 Fat Boy with new Gillette Swede blade
Bic Metal
Sabini Silvertip brush
Honeybee Lavender soap
AOS Lavendar cream
QED Lavendar H2O
German Pitralon A/S
No cologne tonight.
My first ever shave with a Gillette Fat Boy. Very nice razor and shave. I came across a few of these
in my razor pile and decided to try and clean it and put it to use.
This razor has definitely won a spot in my rotation. Now I have to go back and try cleaning the other 2 that I found.

Have a good day.
Patrick
