Shave of the day 03/08/2017!
Prep; Warm Shower with Nivea Face wash
Brush; Simsons Colonel Best Badger
Razor; Gillette Fatboy F2
Blade; Polsilver SI
Soap; TOBS Platinum
With reference to my August 2017 Acquisitions post I received this marvelous Fatboy F2 yesterday and I was assured by the owner that he was the only owner to have it, I could see why when I received it, it was a mess to say the least, I simply cleaned it up with various soaks in mild dish soap and a toothbrush and even very lightly polished with the Dremel on a low setting being extremely cautious, I did also partially disassemble it to ensure I got it spotless, the results speak for themselves, with regards to the Polsilver SI blade I received these from a fellow member on here and it was the first time using them they are great only to find they are stopping them in September I believe, the soap again as usual from TOBS is fantastic, great scent, luxurious lather and great slickness all in all a great shave.
I believe the Fatboy is going to be my new Go-to razor I did WTG on a 6 and XTG on a 4 as I read a few people use that combo, I shall be experimenting a bit but I did have a 48 hour growth.
