Thanks Mark!Great shave! My 70 Super Adj. is a great shaver as well. I've shelved the vintage DEs for a while but I'll have to get this one back out soon I think.
My DEs are mostly shelved as well. But I want to go through them and thin the herd a bit.

Shave Count (DE: 446 SE: 9 SR: 585)
Pre Shave-
Strop: none
Splash and go
Shave-
Razor: Gillette Fatboy
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Knothead Boar
Soap: LNHC Barber Shoppe
Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: Ghost Town Barber
The constant usage and heavy loading has about finished off this soap. I have one, maybe two shaves left to finish this one off. Today I grabbed the Fatboy for another go. I had this listed on the BST for a possible trade. Now I’m not sure about getting rid of it. I may hang onto it. It did a bang up job today on setting 5, but I may crank it up more on the next shave, just for giggles.
I have a few aftershaves that are left after the soap is used up. I don’t mind that at all, it gives me the opportunity to purchase a replacement soap without the aftershave cost. Ghost Town Barber is one of those AS. Today it’s spicing up the LNHC Barber Shoppe. Great shave to start the day. Life is good!

That Super Adjustable is super cool looking! It’s on my list of “gotta get one eventually” haha. I also agree with your opinion on the Fatboy. Definitely need to hang on to that one!

Kept most of the same gear, because it was on hand. I did change out the AS since I haven’t used it in a while. Once again the Fatboy delivered and I am BBS for the win! This soap is toast and I am stoked to have an empty tub to wind down the year. Smooth shaved and smelling great. Life is good!

What is this?! You need to finish them one at a time, man! Then you buy a new one.

Leftover elixir is good though! That one could go with just about anything!What is this?! You need to finish them one at a time, man! Then you buy a new one.
It is also one of the few AS products that doesn't bother my wife.
