Active Pass Around: Fatboy

Regrettably, I have just passed this on to the next person on the list. What a great razor - well built, great weight, highly adjustable and gives a fantastic smooth shave. Hard to believe how old these razors are to be honest. If you haven't had it already, get your name down on the list!!!
 
I received the FatBoy from John last week. It really is a well built razor and the adjustments are smooth and the blade lines up perfectly. Had my first save with it on Saturday. Went with a feather blade and as I had a weeks growth, I started with setting 6 and quickly changed to 7. Great smooth shave. No problem finding the angle. Stubble was dealt with ruthlessly and efficiently. Second pass was XTG at setting 6. Third pass ATG at setting 3. This resulted in an effortless BBS. Extremely happy having tried the FatBoy but the obvious issue now...I want one :oops:
 
Waited a week and had another shave. Polsilver this time and used setting 4 WTG. Setting 3 for XTG and finished ATG using a combination of 3 and 2. Another BBS shave. I preferred the Polsilver to a Feather. YMMV

Another great shave. I think I could have the fastest shave ever with the FatBoy with absolutely no risk of getting cut. What a fine razor. Why don't Gillette bring this back into production. They would make a killing!

What is the opinion between slims and fatboys, is there a big difference ? Or just a little bit, reason im asking is coz I have a slim and don't want to take a spot in line for the pass around if there is no real big differrence, the slim is a great razor too as is the super adjustable.

Thanks,
Bob.
