Hiya,
Guess a new list makes sense, starting with:
I don't want to diss the '64 Slim prematurely. Mine gives a decent, but not great shave and my theory is that it needs TLC. The doors don't open symmetrically and it looks a bit knackered. I might have to give it the Hippo treatment and reevaluate. But by all means give the Fatboy a go. It is fun to use. I won't buy one though. While it is a great little machine, I have several razors that are just as good and I have stopped spending any money on shaving almost two months ago. So even the Hippo treatment will have to wait. That reminds me - I have an allegedly shave ready Rolls razor I haven't used yet.... Too scared...Andreas' comments regarding it being much better than his '64 Slim have my interest piqued. I too had a '64 Slim once upon a time and a darn good shave it was.
Allegedly my blade has been properly honed. I'll find out soon. You check out out that Fatboy, mateOch, I had a go with my Rolls yonks ago and it probably wasn't shave ready but hey, in for a penny, throw the fiver away, that's me. I emerged bloodless save a few small weepers but it was a poor shave. Probably due to the blade not being properly shave ready and the fact that it was my first (and only time). Can't be arsed revisiting it or getting the blade properly honed...
OK then Martin, I guess I best try this beauty out before I pop me clogs. Not that I'm about to but at this rate....
. S'pose I just gotta tick that Fatboy box if you'll have me. I promise I won't go off reservation 'til I's posted it on to the next dude. I hope I hate it 'cos if I don't the Fatboy will just have to buy a Fatboy!
Please?
Amazing....1959
Glad you liked it. That Fatboy is a little gem. I enjoyed it a lot. Given your age you might be able to get a birth year razor, made in the same quarter or year you were born. They were made from 1958 I believe... If you're earlier you need to get a Gillette Toggle and a mortgage...All I can say to finish is even (yes I know I keep saying it) in my very inexperienced hands, this is a classic for a reason, a must have in your'e collection, and I for one will be adding this to my next birthday list, as my Xmas one is full.
