Ramblings of a MilkCrate

So on this post office thing.

My neighbor just sent me a text that said “I found a package for you out in the back under the picnic table.“ I had him check the label and that is my Fatboy. Hope the moisture we have had didn’t make a mess of things.

In the delivery detail, it states that it was delivered on the front porch. Not hidden under yard furniture in the back between two houses. What the crap? This must have been a substitute carrier, because my normal carrier won’t deliver to the porch. My normal carrier leaves items by our garage door if no one is home. So, I’m curious to see what I have when I get home.

Shave Count (DE: 345 SE: 6 SR: 385)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
Gillette Super Speed
Wizamet blade (8)
DS Cosmetic Badger
CBL Sir Fougere Tonsorial soap (35)

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Witch Hazel
Avon Deep Woods AS

The Process-
Early morning shave today ... you know it. I had a great shave yesterday that was a realy "pick me up", so I had to do it again today. What? What?! I think I see a crack in the bottom of this soap. Can I really be breaking through? Hm .. we'll see what tomorrow holds. But for today, I had another really great lather, with this badger. It whipped up well and had more than enough for the shave and post shave.

No leather this morning, since I kept the DE. Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Yes, yes and yes! Another outstanding shave and I am BBS for the win! A very strong start to the last day of the work week. I think I had tried a couple of low end modern razors, but I really dig the vintage. They are not tools of the barbarian. They can deliver a close comfortable shave. Oh yeah!

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Splash of the witch hazel and a splash of the AS. Everything was right as rain! I'm getting used to the addition of the WH into my routine. The Deep Woods got the nod again and was applied with a heavy hand. Sniff it, sniff it. Life is good!

Home Front-
So the Fatboy is in my possession, without any package damage. It came in an oversize box and was well padded. No green corrosion, which is a good thing. But it does need some cleaning so it got a soak in Dawn and hot water last night. At first glance it's fairly clean, but there is some funk on the end caps that hasn't come off yet. It does have one fatal flaw and that is the adjustment knob isn't working. So ... it looks like more work is needed.
