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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
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
