I hadn't used it in a while as I have been using the Blackbird recently and prior to that the OneBlade and King Cobra for a long stretch without use but you hit the nail on the head Marko. My entire shave today I was thinking what a fantastic razor the Mamba is and how absolutely perfect a shave it delivers!

Jerry Carrick, I love a good rose shave!  I'm curious what soap/cream did you use?

(No Picture, you've all seen the set up this week and it's not going to change---except for the blade, for the next 3 weeks)
MWF
CH2 Synthetic
'58 195 Adjustable (8)**
Souplex/Solingen (1)
Floïd Blue
**I dialed the Fat Boy up to 8 today for the first time. Significant difference from 7. This was almost like using my R41, and as you all know, it doesn't get much more aggressive than that. Tamed the beast however, and the resulting BBS shave was nick and weeper free. (This says a lot about the importance of technique)
While this isn't the first time that I have focussed on a singular set up for an extended period of time, it is still enjoyable to hone my skills.
Have a great weekend!

primotenore does the Fatboy go to 11?!   I'm waiting to get my Fatboy back from being re-vamped, the adventure continues.

Most aggressive setting is "9"

If it was Spinal Tap it would go to 11 though
