Razor- Gillette Fatboy
Blade- Gillette platinum thanks to @RussellR5555
Brush- Simpsons Chubby2
Cream- TOBS Grapefruit
The infamous fatboy pass around landed with me and the razor didn't disappoint. Started off on setting 8 for my first pass, knocked down to 4 for the 2nd pass and finally setting one for the final pass and touch ups. Hard to believe this razor is 60 odd years old!
Has a lovely weight to it and outperformed my expectations. I didnt want to own a vintage razor but I can see myself wanting one in the future.
While using it I was thinking I wonder how many hands this has been in and how many shaves it has completed. Amazing.
I'll try different blades in it while I have the razor and hope get to enjoy the shaves as much as I did this one. A happy shaver tonight and my new battle with the Merkur progress will just have to wait for another while!
Have a good weekend one and all.
