Dear damsel

No the thing I mean is the fatboy E4 that I am using at the mo.
I've had three. This is the third. I actually still only posses this one.
I don't have any back up fat boys that other members have ahem ahem.

It is MILES better than the other two I've owned. On fact set on four it's difficult to even notice it has a blade.

What's doin Mongeese,

I agree with you about not all fatboys shaving the same. Can't tell you how many I've shaved with over the years, and almost every one has been a pleasure to use. There were a few clunkers along the way, and also a few that were more wonderful than usual. The two iextra incredible ones culled from many are now my go to and back up fatboys. Heh, the third one is yours.

Reason I bring this up is that the date code is the same on all of em......E4. Coincidence or production tweak? I have no sure idea, but it's a real thing. Yeah, I do believe that particular run may have had something going on there.

I'm glad that one was a good fit for you as well,

Klemel

Oh yeah.............that cake is a riot.

That's nice! Doubt I will get anything so fancy for my birthday. In fact I'll probably get a load of almond shaving soap that looks like birthday cake!

The walrus is a bit confused at the moment. thinks he is the egg man. Food for thought.
Yours interminably,

Dear dewey

Cakes are a riot. They are always a snapshot of happiness. Unless you have baked a wake cake, but even then that's a celebration of someone's life. All that love and care and preparation and thought comes out as something you can eat! How cool is that. I think it was Antonio Carlucci that said that cooking for others 'Is an act of love'.
Quite right.

When is birthday NTS?
 
RE: 14 jan onwards. A thing or two...

Not till March, so no need to get me a present just yet ;-)
Yes my misses always looks after me with nice grub. Shows she loves me and fattens me up so I'm less desirable to the opposite sex (she needn't have bothered!!). It will be my 30th so definitely into grown up territory then.
I seriously would like a cake like that! I've 'planted the seed' in her mind... see what happens. Mrs. Slick is very... erm, slick at decorating cakes. I'm impressed at the execution as much as the idea.

Yours now hungrily,
NTS

MArch eh? Lots if time for cake baking... Mrs slick is thankful if the comments re cake.
She made me one like a vw campervan last year!!

Two passes one on 4 one on 6.
All good blade a little old so got a couple of tiny weepers.
One great razor. In terms of handling and enjoyment top marks then combined with it's performance unbeatable really.
Maybe as dodgy says there is something in the E4 theory.
This is a humdinger. And a keeper.
No shave sun
Monday still no shave.
Have builders in. Need a slight bit of stubble to decorate with...
Cheers tbs

Dear Dostoy

it all went terribly wrong...
Superduper sped
Gillette bleue extra!!
Trumpers violet
Lush Unction

Three passes

One very sore neck. probably too much pressure from using the light pressure needed on a more aggressive razor. Ie it felt like it wasnt doing much so I made it work too hard.

Actually as poor a result as I have had, almost ever.
I will try with a yellow...

Mmmmm
Yrs
Slick

But I will check my posts, I have a feeling this blade is not a good one for me either.
 
RE: 14 jan onwards. Super speed bites back!!

Dear dotty

You know I think I just pressed too hard.
No shave today.
I have
One more theory...
Wrong time of day!!
I shaved at 5.00pm. It's quite simple my face rejected the razor on the grounds of time if day!!
Sorry Tim. It's past noon.
It doesn't work after 12.00 hrs.
Like drinking beer at lunchtime. One pint and you need a sleep.
Evening time one pint is just to get the throat lubricated.
So there must a secret time limit on certain events.
I once had a lovely landlady who packed my lunches for me.
On early shift with breakfast at 07.00 I invariably had blue cheese sandwiches.
That didn't work either!
Cheers. Off to finish my bottle of Courage Best.
Now that works anytime!!!
Tbs.

Well after my last shave I took a step back... And fell in the bath.
No a reflective step back. You know a thinking step. A scratchy chin moment step.
A 'mmmm I wonder caused caused that' step. Got it?
So not a real step. A figurative step.
Anyhoo.
Take two less, much less pressure.
A better shave. Two passes. Still a little rash. Not a great result either.
Tomorrow same razor, using a yellow or nacet. Put bleue in another razor.
I think it's the blade now.
I will let you know.
Tried thinking after 5.pm.
Hell NTS I couldnt get a thought out.

RE: 14 jan onwards. Bleue's still not to my liking...

Dear drizzly

Phew!!
That was close. Get it? Close. It's a shave pun.
You see I've used the phrase to;
Describe my relief at my shaving returning to normal and
The fact that I did actually have a close shave this morning.
If I had a near miss accident I could have got away with a three way pun but the double will have to do for now.....
Anyhoo

RE: 14 jan onwards. Superspeed sulk over...

Dear dewy
Have you noticed anything? Have you, have you?
Wot no shaving!
Correct.
Three days. Sat sun mon.
You see we all went to stay with rellies. There was a big do.
Massive. Over the last 18 months a group of women and one guy have been growing their hair as long as poss.
The object on sat night at Seaton village hall was a public cutting of the hair. The hair then goes to make wigs for use by Macmillam for people having their hair through chemotherapy.
Even my 12 yr old daughter took part. She was interviewed on 5 Live!
So 15 brave souls now have bobs. Or Roberts as we like to call them. All cut on stage in front of an attentive audience. Nearly £4K raised!
So wot with nit being at home and decorating.
No shave.
Here's to all the gals and guy.
Flipping well done.
Cheers
Timslickgoose.
