Yes, just got to find the right combinations. Did not want to push it today.This fat boy gets a great shave with a FatBoy. I'm sure you'll dial it in.
Part of the attraction for me was having something that is ageless. I will be 59 later this year and this was made in the last quarter of 1959. Just had to be done. I did clock that the angle needed is slightly different to using my Rockwell but quickly adapted. I think a higher setting and a change of blades will see me through. The Rockwell will remain my go to I think but hyou is is just fun as well. What a child!
Getting nice shaves on 3/4 with the Rockwell but may need 7+ on the fat boy. We are all different I suppose.Yes I get that, it's an iconic razor, beautiful, functional, robust. That's why I got it, but I had the Rockwell 6S and I used to get great shaves on #6, a lot better than the FB
From usage I find moulded brass razors hold the blades as well as modern CNC steel razors.It was the first Gillette adj. razor and should be viewed as such. It was not made on state of the modern art MIM or CNC eqpmt.
On this we agreeNontheless, making a modern adjustable has stumped modern makers it appears as they not only are priced in the stratosphere they are also not made as cleverly.
