2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I think I like the artwork on this product better than I like the scent. This is one of those scents that I want to love but, in reality, it is only okay. No issues with the lather, though. Beautiful lather today, which made using the Flying Wing a real joy.

Enjoy your Sunday!

I cranked the Fat Boy up to eight (8) to see how it felt. I remember my first shave with the Fat Boy. I started low, but eventually pulled the razor once across my cheek at eight (8) and felt like I was tearing my skin off. I tried it again this morning, and was treated to a wonderful shave. I face lathered, then did a single ATG pass on my face at 8, then dialed it down to 7 for my jaw and neck, remembering to ride the cap the whole way. Wow, what a shave. BBS all the way without any burn, irritation, cuts, or weepers. Here's to improved technique. Have a great day, everybody.

I am so in love with this brush and very happy that I snagged one of the last v19 knots with it! This thing makes lathering such an enjoyable experience.

Lonestar is quickly becoming my favorite daily driver type scent. Definitely going to have to pick up the frag at some point.

I catalogued my software to finish my lather games calendar today so I know I shouldn’t, but I’m definitely about to buy the frag.
