Simple question for those who have both the Gillette Fatboy and the Slim - or have at least had a chance to try both in the past. Which one do you prefer? [Tapatalk users might not see it but there's a poll with options available in this thread]
Ideally, a combination of the two would be ideal. I liked the length of the Slim, but the heft of the 195. Of the two I owned, I preferred the FatBoy.
thank you, I hate Swype sometimes. the worst part is, I was a police sergeant. I always ragged the guys for not proofreading.
I was testifying in an armed burglary case. in front of a jury, mind you. I hid in a darkened restaurant. it had been burglarized early in my shift. nothing taken, I proposed the thief broke in to take notes on what was there, find a buyer, return to steal items later. I was correct. he was arrested. in the courtroom, while I was trying to explain how I suprised the theif by turning the bright flashlight on, I had written, "I hit him with my flashlight". the defense attorney jumped all over that, I had to backpeddle pretty quickly. so long story short, it's not always the spellchecker, but laziness in rereading.
I put out the school PTSA Newsletter for our school. It was the beginning of school and I was adding one last article that I wrote to take up some space. The faculty and staff had met in a team building exercise and had "brainstormed" ideas for the coming year. When the letter got printed, somehow the computer had the staff had "barnstormed" ideas.
No contest for me, the FB hands down produces a better shave. Unfortunate because I really hoped for a birth year (62) favorite.
I voted fatboy for the extra weight and the diameter of the handle. Other than that, the heads seem to shave about the same.
I haven't tried a Fatboy, but I like the nimbleness of my Slim. I even prefer it to my short handled Super Adjustable.
I've never used either of them, so I abstained so as not to skew the results. There's no reason for me to have posted that, but I wanted to contribute.
