Here it is!!! Straight from Grandma's house. This used to be my Grandfathers. RAD!!! So if i were to venture a guess.... This is a Gillette Fat Boy, correct?? If s,o are there any suggestions on blades that work well with this awesome weapon? Two things to consider for myself. I have soft and fair skin. Don't really get razor bumps, but more so the little pimples. So in addition to blade suggestions, what are some good soaps to use that may help with this? I'm 30 and don't have a ton of facial hair. Quite spotty actually. My chin is solid and the corners of my upper lip, but everywhere else could use a shot of testosterone. Also what house hold item would be the best for cleaning this? It has some leftover residues and a few spots of green tarnish. All advice is much appreciated!
Very cool. Can't tell you what blade to get because what works for me just may tear your face up, and visa-versa. I would recommend a sample pack. JoAnna carries 'em at TSD store, as do several other vendors.
How awesome! You've got a great razor there anyway you slice it, but made even better by the connection to your Grandfather. I agree whole heartily with Steve about getting a blade sampler pack, might be one of the best pieces of advice for any new wetshaver. I don't like to hear YMMV on everything, but with blades I find that to be exceedingly true. For cleaning, I tend to use scrubbing bubbles/kaboom bathroom cleaner. Very good a knocking off soap scum, just be careful and don't let it sit on the numbers on your Fatboy, as it will strip the paint. On my adjustable razors, sometimes I'll spray the cleaner on a rag instead of spraying the razor and this has worked pretty well.
