    Not a "Fatboy", no; but a few Old Type and New Improved, along with these three contemporaries of the aforementioned "195".

    No time for a pic this morning but I'll kick it Obie style:
    Gentlemen here's today's shave bill
    Prep: Overslept, cold water wash, olive oil
    Razor: Merkur 37C
    Brush: VDH Boar
    Soap: Cella
    AS: Olive Oil
    Finish: Aqua Velva Musk
    Stash: Murray's Australian Bees Wax

    Great shave. I hate to be in such a hurry in the morning, I'm not much good at it despite all the practice
    The older I get, the better I was

    Nice low key photo.

    I have one of razors, and is a favourite as it's my birth year razor. Mine's date-stamped O3.

    Good luck with this, especially if you suffer the photographic variation of "Gear acquisition syndrome".
