    i like both .i got a really nice slim birthyear razor for a good price.couldn t get a mint fatboy that cheap.i like the slim better because of the birthyear thing m-1.shaves under the nose a little easier for me.also the last all brass/nickel razor from gillette.fatboys are cool though.

    Since Adjustable August is winding down, I'll be alternating my Slim with my MMOC during SEptember.
    I want to get my blade auditions over prior to OCtober, so I can reconnect with my NEW SC. I'll be using it exclusively in OCtober.

    I have all of the adjustables, including 2 different kinds of Toggles and a Red Dot Fatboy. The heavier they are, the better I like them. The D1 is super smooth, easily my favorite but the difference between it and a standard FatBoy is not worth the $$$.

    The Black Beauties are my least favorite. I can get a great shave with them but they seem a tad harsher.

    IMO, start with a Fatboy and a Slim. Go from there. You'll likely wind up with both no matter which one you start with.

    I've literally just got a slim (picked it up saturday morning) and have shaved twice with it so far. I would say if you're interested just get a slim and try it. I really like mine (don't put too much weight on the comment though - it's only the second DE I've used!)

    Like me, you got lucky by getting into Gillette Adjustables early. Hard to go wrong with any of them.

    It really does feel excellent... tried it on 4 the first time and it felt a lot like my Tech. Did my first pass on 9 today and I'm very impressed
