It would be very vain of me to try and top that classical reference.

Well my first time using the infamous Gillette fat boy and already I know what all the fuss is about.
After 3 days growth I decided to dial it in at #6 WTG #6 XTG and my final pass was#4 ATG.
The razor mowed down my growth without any problem on my first pass. I am extremely impressed by the vintage capabilities.
The result was a BBS shave that was so smooth and without cuts, weepers or any irritation.
So much so and although this is my first go with this razor, it is a must buy razor.
Really impressed with her performance.
The soap produced a good lather with a lovely sandalwood scent but if I had any criticism I would say that it lacks in a little slickness and cushion. YMMV.
The brush as usual performed its face lathering magic and finishing off with the Hazel and Balm I could not fault the shave.
Joop is an old skool scent that I still adore to this day.
Enjoy your shaves folks and take care,
Wayne.
Thank you Rob,Excellent and moody photo Wayne.
A water proof speaker and some MWF.Switched back to the hydro today after the Mach 3 irritation and was rewarded.
Prep - warm water splash
Razor - WS Hydro 5 (1)
Brush - Simpsons Chubby Synthetic
Cream - Trufitt and Hill unscented
Post - L'Oreal Tree Birch sap AS
Loverly and smooth only made better by the waterproof speaker that arrived yesterday, Jimmy Eat World
And Wolfmother supported the shave.
I've got the MWF out for tomorrow, this was a soap that I was convinced caused irritation, I'm revisiting what I thought caused Irritation after finding out it was likely the natural brushes.
Wish me luck?!?
