Hi,
And, you are right to share it with us. I do like the look of them, all resting in their beds.
One thing I was always curious about. The bottom dial Fatboy vs. the top dial. Which one feels best to shave with (balance, grip, etc) ??
Stan
I just spent a month shaving with a bottom dial, and I loved it. It took a few shaves to get the hang of it. The balance is different. I find it hard to say which is better, though. Both are good. Having as much weight as does on the tail end makes the bottom dial a little more of a challenge, no doubt, but it just seemed to get the job done, whether I liked it or not. 😊
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I hope you've got those listed on your homeowners insurance policy!

+1 I can get a little tighter under my nose wit a standard Fatboy. But I still have a Schick Adjustable Injector for the tight spots.
Indeed looks right at home Glenn. Congrats to you and CAP both for a job done well.

Thanks Tom. Cap is great! He has helped my out with four razors now. He is the best.
wow Glenn, that Toggle just kind of blends in with the other awesome razors in your collection...to be fair and sensitive to the needs of your razors you should send me a couple of them....that way they will feel "special", like they should, when put in rotation with my ordinary razors.
just do what you know is right.....

Thanks Juan. I must admit I'm proud of them. If I can't show them to you guys then I can't show them to anyone. You guys appreciate them.
Hi,
I have thought that if I ever went for an adjustable, it would be a Red Dot Fatboy. Being and engineer, I like the idea of the entire bottom plate moving. Not the bars bending the blade method. The bottom dial looks like it would be difficult to hold at the balance point.
Of course, even the Red Dots are a bit pricey for me....

Hi Stan, The Red Dot is an excellent shaver. But all the rare Gillette adjustables are going through the roof. There is a Red Dot BIN on ebay for $1500 right now. Two years ago you could get them for $350.
Your IRA and 401K must feel threatened by your razors Glenn.

Tom. I, for the most part, don't have the cases, documents, and other razor accoutrements to go with my razors unlike some people we know.
