I dearly love every razor I own but three passes with a Fatboy slammed to 9 is a tough shave to beat with anything[/QUOTE]

Man, you must have a hide like a Rhino to use a 9 setting. If I did that it would be slice and dice time.

Prep: Hot Shower
Razor: Robert Williams SRP
Brush: AOS Fine Badger
Cream: T&H Trafalgar
A/S: Pinaud Clubman

Result: Good shave. Received this razor yesterday. Shaved with it right out of the box. It has good balance and feel, but the edge was not quite there. I'm going to give it a good stropping to see if that takes care of it. If not, then I'll give it a few laps on the hone. Overall, it is a nice looking, good feeling razor.

Have an incredible Friday!

Did I mention he has 6 Daughters?

That's right, tomorrow there will be 8 women and 2 men in the house for the whole nite. The estregen alone may be toxic!! LOL.

I only get to shave once or twice a week these days, work schedule is just so hectic. I'm making a special effort today so I'll look and smell good for all these granddaughters!@
