Shout out to Jason Riegle of the razor company
A while back I bought a FaTip that was a bit mangled from the factory. It was the last one he had. After a what I would consider a typical slow response back from fatip, Jason sent out another full razor, plus gave up a Gift card, plus he bought something from MY website.
Thanks for being a stand up guy.

Bottom dial Fatboy w/Bic Chrome Platinum blade


First thing to state is the challenge trying to shave with a razor like this. You have to deal with the mirror constantly being fogged up by rainbows, skittles being slip hazards and getting poked by unicorn horns. Once that is dealt with then you need to fend off everyone in the house wanting to bask in your aura of awesomeness. A lock on the bathroom door and windows is definitely recommended. Those issues dealt with onto the shave. I figured on my maiden voyage I'd set the razor to 6. First off I had no issues with the dial being on the bottom of handle, razor felt fine in the hand. Second this is not a standard fat boy, slim or super adjustable. On the 6 setting this razor is much more efficient than any of those razors set at 9. I can't say if this is the same as a Toggle since it has been a long time since I've owned and shaved with one but I do remember thinking it was overrated when using it on the 9 setting. This one not so much, it performed really well on the 6 setting with it just getting to the BBS finish line. So far and this not because I am awesome and therefor the bottom dial is awesome but it was about the best shave I've ever had with any Gillette adjustable except for the Super 109 at 9. Next time I use it I'll up the setting see if this overtakes a Super 109 for me.

Congratulations! That's a grail razor for a lot of people.

 

Thanks and yes definitely a white whale for Gillette collectors.
