Superb Fougere Fatboy Friday

I used Tabac cream as a prep and the Lather Monster built yogurty lather on top of that after loading some B&M vegan suds. My sweet spot with the Fatboy is 9-7-7 and that progression worked like a charm. I even decided to use this Voskhod blade for another shave - usually I change them after three, but I've gotten as many as seven good shaves from these. No drama BBS. I finished off with B&M Fougère Classique and my skill looks, feels, and smells great. 

Prep: Tabac cream

Soap: B&M vegan Fougere Imperial

Brush: HIS XL

Razor: '59 Fatboy

Blade: Voskhod (4)
AS: B&M Fougere Classique 

SOTD 8-14-15

Comments:  The Wolfman takes off a two day growth like nothing.  It is so smooth and efficient that it only takes two passes plus a very little clean up. The Soap Commander soap was very good.  It lathered easy and gave me a great slick protective shave and post feel is very good!  I had a very good shave today with my usual DFS shave! No irritation or weepers!

Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!

Thx.

Getting spoiled.

Really been enjoying the Harry's lately. Guess it's a speed thing, but any cartridge I've ever tried, Harry's is by and far the smoothest sharpest 5 blade I've ever scraped across my face. Still, I'm missing my Weber...
