Razor: Gillette Fatboy F2 #5
Blade: NOS (70s) Gillette Platinum (2)
Brush: Semogue 1800
Soap: Hampshire Wool Fat
Pre: Proraso White
ASL: Floïd Suave
ASB: Floïd



This was meant to be last night's shave but I got drunk on a WhatsApp call with some friends instead and slept on the sofa. Great stuff and a sign of socialising in 2021, no doubt!

A fine shave with the Hampshire Wool Fat - enabled by @Tony'schin a few weeks ago. I also enjoyed the Omega boar on my last shave so thought I'd give the Semogue a run. I've settled on these two boars for my collection - I think they're both great and bring something different.

All in all, another lovely vintage shave. The Fatboy has been cleaned and put back in the rack and the blade transferred to the next razor.

Note:-
Not wanting to be a Killjoy, however, do we really need a separate thread for the monthly challenges or would it be just as good to Highlight it in the normal SOTD thread. just a thought?

It would actually make life a lot easier to post in a single place - i.e. SOTD
