Active Pass Around: Fatboy

[TommyP]

Fatboy passaround seems to have stalled. Step right up if you fancy a go.

Apologies @TommyP - I believe it's on its way to me imminently from @merchant_seaman following a discussion we had yesterday evening.....

Hi all. Yes (that's) correct. The Fatboy will be heading north this week.

 

[Jester]

Morning all. Postie delivered the Fatboy this morning - thank you @merchant_seaman. It's currently having a relaxing soak before I try it in the next few days

Less than 24 hours after sending it from Plymouth to Wales. Hats off to Royal Mail.

OK, El Gordo's been with me for a week or so now, and I'm about ready to release it for the next person to try. Let me know if you fancy a spin, and I'll have it cleaned, disinfected and boxed ready to send imminently.

And my thanks to everyone along the chain who has kept this pass around alive for nearly 10 years

Cheers @Boycie83! I very much do but think it’s a bit soon for me as I’m still learning to shave with a safety razor, and I’ve just got my hands on a flat bottom tech courtesy of @tadpole so have that to get used to too!

So I’d love to have a whirl with it but maybe I could join the back of the queue that’s hopefully about to form?

Thanks for thinking of me but I've had one and sold it, I found it a novelty and a proper faff to navigate its bulky head round my finely crafted mutton chops.

Gillette Fatboy F2 - original, unrestored

Hi All, Time to move on my Fatboy as it hardly gets used any more. As the pictures show it's not been polished or re-plated. Everything works nice and smoothly as it ought to Happy to do a deal against a Feather AS-D2 or £70 posted. Happy to take paypal in which case please add the fees...

Flat bottom tech= fat boy on about 2-3 the 4 or 5 mm in height might make a difference under the nose but it's negligible you have to try one just because it's a gillette fat boy.

I think I'll give this a go! Unless someone else will fancy a go first before me

Oh, I’m well up for it but just assumed a bit more experience would allow me to appreciate it a bit more?

I’m yet to even try the Tech as that’s technically a birthday present (March)... deferred gratification ‘n all
