Gillette Fatboy with an Astra blade on setting 1. Trying out my fathers old razor and working my way up the scale one click at a time. First impressions are that the Fatboy is a good piece of gear.

SOTD Sunday June 23, 2012

Prep: Tepid Water Shower, Brush soaking in hot water
Razor: FaTip Grande in Chrome
Blade: SuperMax Super Platinum
Brush: 1950's Stanley Flat Top Badger Hair Brush
Soap: TSD Wheat Cream Sandalwood
AS: Aqua Velva Musk
Post: Cold Water Rinse, Naturally Fresh Alum, Second Rinse, Double Splash of Aqua Velva Musk.

Since recieving the TSD Wheat Cream I have been trying out various temperatures and amounts of water to build the perfect lather. For me it seems to work best with warm to hot water. With the warmer water temperatures the cream dissolves into the water giving it a skim milk color before you begin to work your brush. Another added benefit for me is that this cream has so much scent your entire bathroom smells good while building a lather.

I took Bruce's (Stroker) advice and used twice as much of Aqua Velva both last night on my evening shave and again today. I will say I am hooked on this stuff. It really is very different from the Jovan Musk that I grew up on. I find the Aqua Velva to par very nicely with the Sandalwood, and leaves a fairly long scent that is noticeable at a close distance.

The shave itself what can I say, I always get great results from the FaTip and Supermax SP blade combo.

I would rate todays shave a 10.

Weber DLC with Classic handle + Indian Green Permashap (2).
Superlather with Mike's Unscented soap and Ingram's cream -- face-lathered with VDH boar brush.
AS splash: Denim.

The Weber works well on a couple of days' growth. Fatip, R41, Old Type, or MMOC is more effective with a single day's growth, in my experience.
