I got to try my "new" Fatboy this morning. I set it on 6 to compare to my slim. It seems a tad more agressive on 6 than the Slim on 6. With a slight angle adjustment, I got an excellent shave: smooth, close, and nick free! I am going to like the Fatboy!

Thanks again David!

Darn thats a nice looking razor! Congratulations again =D

Is it re-plated? If so, who did the work?

Thanks,
Ed

Ed-It is not replated, but Razor Emproium did a polish and tune-up.

That's a beauty!

Boy, they sure did a good job - it looks brand new.

Very nice! A nicer gent couldn't have won! A Fatboy is on my list of must have razors. Congrats Bob!

It certainly is a beautiful razor.
I may try one someday if the price ever comes back down to near normal.

Happy Shaving to you Bob!!

Nice revamp. great pif.

That's a beautiful razor. Congrats! After a few shaves, I would like to hear how it stacks up to the Slim.

I just got mine back from being re-plated and I didn't realize how much I really missed it. The emporium did a very nice job on yours. Looks great!

I just got mine back from Razor Emporium and they did a magnificent job. They fixed the stuck door problem and they cleaned it up beautifully. I almost don't want to use it, it's so nice as is (lol). I have a nice vintage case and blades for it. I may eventually use it. I have used the slim adjustable that I won on this site and it gives a nice smooth shave set on number 5 for me. The Black Beauty is another wonderful Gillette razor I'm lucky that I have two, one in chrome and the other in gold plate and they are also smooth shavers. Give them a try they are great.

Nice razor, you'll love it!

Well, my 2nd shave was as good or better than the 1st. It is very easy to adjust to the different angle. The FB on 6 is definitely more aggressive than the Slim on 6. It gave me a superb shave. I may have already found my setting for it.

That is a beautiful razor! My fat boy is definitely one of my favorite shavers! I use mine on 9 and get smooth, nick free shaves every time. I never have cared for my slim much. I rarely have a good shave with it.

Well, I have tried four different blades now for four shaves each: Personna Med Prep, Gillette Platinum, and Rapira Platinum Lux. I got excellent shaves with each. Set on 6, this Fatboy gives up very smooth, close shaves! In this razor, I like the Gillette Platinum best, followed by the Rapira Platinum Lux, and the Personna Med Prep. All these are in my Top 5 blades.

Today's shave.

That makes me happy.

Looks in good shape also. Congratulations!

Beautiful razor!

I have found that I get the best shaves from my Fatboy set on 9 for the first pass, then 7 for the rest.
Maybe the extra blade exposure makes me more careful because I seem to unconsciously apply more pressure when I used it on 4-5 or lower.
