Active Pass Around: Fatboy

Why? It's old, it isn't shiny stainless, it's handle is too short and it's TTO. But thanks for the reminder - I'd forgotten today is the designated day and have loaded a London Bridge into a Weber PH on a new Ti handle from Belarus. I'll put a Green into the Fatboy and have at it!

Well, it's easy to see why this FatBoy enjoys such a good reputation! I did the first pass on '3' and the remaining two on '4' - came away with an easy, easy DFS. I could have gone away after two passes and been well shaved. I need a tad more aggression to get to my difficult places.

I had a bit of a problem with the blade tabs - more so than with the Rocnel - and scrapped my nose lightly a couple of times. The handle is, of course, too short for me - resulting in me holding the TTO knob and it slackening back a little a couple of times - or more.

After I've used the blade for the other shave, the razor will be ready to get back on the road, to continue it's already five year journey around TSR.

Thank you, dodgykins. Folk have been looking after your razor well.
 
Curiosity satisfied so no need to try a Feather, thank you very much, Sir D. This is one short tailed minky I can let fly by easily enough! Great razor if you like 'em short tailed!

How's next?
 
Hiya,

Well, for whatever the reason, I am done here when it comes to keeping this thread going. Maybe someone else can take care of this now.

Been a pleasure being part of this place and I still will be around but just not as active.

Aw does that mean I can't get on the list? :)
 
I've had a word with Martin @dodgy and I'll take over the Fatboy pass around for the time being. One more pass around won't make a difference for me. The razor is currently with Carl @Bechet and I think I'll have it come to me first for a quick inspection (and because it's a great razor - I had it a while ago).
I haven't read the entire thread, but I think the following people have shown interest in the Fatboy: @Grant Prichard @hdb3326 @Fuzzyian @Liocer @ajh101
Could the first three please confirm that they are still interested.

Anyone else: Here's a chance to find out why the Gillette Fatboy is a legend. Try it for free!
  • Who knows how many people since 2011
  • Bechet
  • riverrun
  • ajh101
  • Liocer
The list is open.

I've been meaning to put myself down onto this list as I've never tried an adjustable. As you know Andreas, I'm on a couple of pass arounds at the moment, so please do add me to the list, but if another couple of people pipe up in the mean time I'm happy to drop a place or two!
