A belated Happy Birthday to You Mel. You are looking great.
Your picture is not showing up for me, Warhawk. That's disappointing, too, because I always enjoy your pics.
This was my first time shaving with a Fat Boy. My first 2 passes were at #6, but the final ATG pass was #9. It handled a new Feather quite nicely. This was, yet again, a perfect shave. I didn't need the alum block. I just went straight to the Speick splash.
Prep:
• Hot shower (I shave in the shower)
• Head & Face Wash:
Lucky Tiger Face Wash• Brush:

@120: Thanks for the kind words. I just noticed (last night) that several of my SOTD pics have "disappeared" for some strange reason. I contacted Tyler and hopefully I can get it solved. I posted my image on
www.postimage.org these past several days. What web host do you place your pics? I think I might try out
www.photobucket.com and try that one. Matter of fact... I'm gonna do a test pic right now. BTW... I love your SOTD with the Fatboy. That Fatboy is in great condition. Is it a re-plate?

Here is my lather from yesterday's SOTD:
For those who haven't tried Cella... it is an Italian shave croap (cream/soap). It provides nice lather, cushion, glide, and the fresh almond, cherry scent is invigorating.

That Fatboy is in great condition. Is it a re-plate?
Yes, I have 2 Fatboys: The rhodium replate in the pic, and one that is stock in a case that is also in perfect condition. I'll probably never use the cased one.
@120: Enjoy that Fatboy. I love mine.

No picture again Mel!! I thought it was my browser until I read back a bit in the thread.
I'm a week into growing a beard so no SOTD pics for me. Although maybe I should post my next only SOTD pics....
Enjoying all the participation and pics in this thread gents. Maybe I'll get back in once I get my Cobra Killer razor in the next few months and can't resist shaving the whole face with it!!

Hi Gents: This is my SOTD for Sept. 2, 2014. Please let me know if you see it. I see all my pics but apparently some of my pics are "disappearing". Do you see this pic?
I can see that one just fine. Very nice it is too!
I couldn't see it from my work PC (Windows 97), but I can see it now from home on Windows 8.0, Windows 97, and Windows XP machines.
All of these are Chrome (including work PC).
