If I had to do it all over again (purchase another Fatboy and Slim), and I had to choose just one, I'd be more likely to get the FB. Simliar shave results, neither exceptionally aggressive, but I simply prefer the husky feel of the 195. '
My Russian knockoff of the Slim arrived in the mail today. Fifteen days from Moscow to Baton Rouge is quite good, I guess. The razor seems to have a longer handle, but I haven't lined them up side by side yet. Will have something to say on this in a few days.
I updated my comparison picture. The handles are 0.062" difference in diameter, and the difference in the length of the handles is 0.14".
Thank you. Thank you very much. An interesting difference: the numbers on the slim line up with the knurl on the dial while the numbers on the fatboy line up on the flats of the dial.
Fatboy Slim is one of my favorite DJ's of all time. "Weapon of choice" is 3:52 of pure Christopher Walken magic!
I'd like to say that I prefer my FatBoy, they are more rare and look more impressive. But, the truth is that I haven't used it in a long time. I probably use the Slim 10 times for every one time I use the FatBoy. ....... Sure hope Chris Hansen doesn't read this post out of context
Never give up...Never surrender! I also kept loosing bids on the FB. Hang in there and you will get one. I also agree the FB need the longer handle of the slim. And if I won the FB and you were bidding on it....sorry.
