I'd say it's even stevens. The Slim is a bit nippier round the corners, but the extra weight of the Fatboy is nice too. I can't imagine anything significantly better.Flatfish said:Some say the fatboy is even better but I think I would prefer the slimmer head of the slim.
Flatfish said:I've not used one but I've heard the progress is good. The downsides are it looks stupid with the yellow plastic knob. Also the numbers don't always correspond to the clicks as you adjust it apparantly.

The alloy 'knob' (so to speak) is much better than the plastic. Plus the chap who does the conversion, Mer, ensures its all calibrated and in alignment so I am not the best person to comment on any problems from off the shelf versions of the Progress.
Loaded with an IP blade this has to be one of my favourite razors.
