Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Gillette Fatboy @ 5
Blade - Feather Hi-Stainless (#3 and out)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Arko
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS

Introduced the Fatboy to the Feather today. I was quite sceptical given the weight of the razor as I've only used them in lighter tools before, such as my beloved Fat Handled Tech. I took it very easily and actually had it set at three on the first stroke but I quickly realised it needed a little more exposure if I was to finish with anything but BBS. No worries from then on, with the exception of the smallest nick on my bottom lip.
Nice thick lather once again, and the usual fantastically clean feeling one gets from a truly great blade.

La Toja Cream today. 5 seconds to load the ER Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Loaded my last 7 O’ Clock Yellow in the Fat Tip. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Pitralon Classic.

Shaveless Sunday For me Today as my Gebr. Krusius 65 Stole my Sunday Shave Yesterday with an Epic Performance. I woke this morning Still at a CCS Level of Stubble, almost none with the exception of the area near my Jaw Hinge and the very Tip of my Chin and even that is meager at best.

I Did want to Post today though to Say that......






Everyone Here Has Posted Some Very Amazing Photos Today and All Week in Respect for all of our Friends in France. I wish them Healing and Peace in their time of need and a speedy recovery from this tragic series of attacks. May the World as a Whole Soon Find Peace and the Ability to Live in Harmony Together.

Vive La France!!!!!
