Comments: Had a two day growth and the Wolfman took it off like nobody's business in two passes plus a little clean up. The Proraso White soap was very good as usual. It lathered easy and gave me a great slick protective shave, the scent was pleasant and post feel is also very good!  I did get a very good shave today and my usual DFS shave! No irritation or weepers!

Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!

Thx.

I went with Rhapsody and Russe today because it is one of my favorite combinations.  I also dialed down the Fatboy to see if I can get the same high quality shave as I get when I set it on nine.  So, I set it at seven for the first two passes, then five for the last.  I am not impressed with the results, though I had a drama free shave, I had to make way more touch ups.  At lower and middle settings, the Fatboy is not much different from any other razor, I think it really shines at higher settings.  I'll still try different combinations, but so far 9-7-7 works the best for me.
My neck was still a little tender from yesterday, so I used Mint Zinger to calm down and Russe as cologne, to avoid alcohol on my neck.
