Ferox Fatboy Friday
Another great shave with Ferox and the Fatboy. The Colonel whipped up deliciously scented grapefruit pepper lather that set up my stubble to face its fate. The Fatboy removed it cleanly and comfortably with just a little weeper on my lower neck that closed with a cold water rinse. I finished up with PAA Gondolier, still one of my favorite scents and best performing aftershaves. We often write about our problem areas, but does anyone have an area that seems to be Kevlar in its resistance to the blade? Mine is my right cheek - I think I could shave it dry with a broken bottle and get BBS. My other cheek and neck are more prone to irritation.

A close but somewhat rough shave this morning.  The blade definitely should have been retired after yesterday's shave.

I'm going to have to take a page out of your book and start sticking Optimus in my SOTD.
