Well we are halfway through the second phase for OCtober and today starts the fourth pairing, a Fatip Grande and a Valet AutoStrop.
During the first Phase the Fatip Grande was pitted against a Gillette New SC and honestly shaved me even closer and more comfortably than the Gillette New SC; 'twern't even close.
Today's shave was a repetition of the Phase 1 shave, super smooth, super efficient, super comfortable PDG+ near perfect. My Valets usually do a good job but it will need to do a great job tomorrow to stay in the running.
Today started with a wash using Herberia Bay rum for soap, Speick Shaving Cream in the Heather n fern shaving mug. I used the Gibbs boar brush and this is it's third break-in session. After the shave I used the Speick Balsam balm followed by Chatillon Colonia Basalmica aftershave.
The Fatip Grande has really impressed me every time I've used it and I have a Fatip Piccolo lined up against an ATT R2 as the final pairing for OCtober. Now that should be very interesting.

To be vintage it must be older than me!
The last razor I bought was the next to last razor I will ever buy!

ATT S1 with a fresh Gillette Nacet. My pack of 100 arrived. I bought it based on the positive reviews on this site, in answer to my question--thanks all who responded.
I had a very good shave but with some weepers due to my being a tad too aggressive. The S1 feels as mild as my Muhle R89. But it's very efficient. I have to remind myself to use no pressure. Loved the Nacet!
