    Good evening guys!
    I just received my 1961 Fatboy razor that I won from the TSD raffle. I have to say it is in very good condition. I couldn't wait to use it so I decided to just shave my head because I want to continue my vintage square point straight focus for shaving my face. I placed a new Merkur blade that I received with my Dovo shavette last October. I was able to get a nice smooth headshave, but it took me 4 passes with touchups, instead of the usual 3 with touchups. With my Gillette slim or my Rockwell, I only need 3 passes, albeit I use a Rockwell or VDH blades. I know that it isn't the razor, and it has to be the Merkur blade. I probably got sent a subpar blade. When I used a Merkur blade in my Dovo shavette, the blade was sharp. Anyway, I got a nice BBS headshave. Applied witchhazel and then used the free sample of Stirling Barbershop balm that was included in my first order. I have to say that it has a pleasant scent. Finally, I bought a NOS 1959 Gillette Fatboy with the plastic case and the original blades. I should get it sometime next week and will post a pic. Ok, tomorrow will be my normal face shave and will be bringing out my Wosty 5/8 square point to begin the last week of March.

    Did you go through all those blades in one shave, Terry? ;)

    Thanks Charlie. I never would ever think of owning one, but with the raffle win and getting one off Ebay really is nice for my collection.

    Perry, I agree. It's better to have a SAS or a CCS instead of a bloody mess!

    Joseph, I understand that the barber's notch helped the barber grab the razor from his pocket so he wouldn't cut himself. I also heard that it gave him a sure and steady feel when he was doing fine detail work. As for the non-barbers like us, it is purely decorative and frankly, makes the razor look cool.
