2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I think I like the artwork on this product better than I like the scent. This is one of those scents that I want to love but, in reality, it is only okay. No issues with the lather, though. Beautiful lather today, which made using the Flying Wing a real joy.
Enjoy your Sunday!

I cranked the Fat Boy up to eight (8) to see how it felt. I remember my first shave with the Fat Boy. I started low, but eventually pulled the razor once across my cheek at eight (8) and felt like I was tearing my skin off. I tried it again this morning, and was treated to a wonderful shave. I face lathered, then did a single ATG pass on my face at 8, then dialed it down to 7 for my jaw and neck, remembering to ride the cap the whole way. Wow, what a shave. BBS all the way without any burn, irritation, cuts, or weepers. Here's to improved technique. Have a great day, everybody.

I smell like a fruit salad right now in the best possible way!
I am so in love with this brush and very happy that I snagged one of the last v19 knots with it! This thing makes lathering such an enjoyable experience.

A lovely orange shave for a Sunday morning.
Hey, did you try the Nordost cologne they were showing off at Maggard's?
I did! I should’ve bought some to keep the scent going for a little while longer.

Lonestar is quickly becoming my favorite daily driver type scent. Definitely going to have to pick up the frag at some point.
