What's new

After all the hype.....

I'm actually getting a DFS from a Fatboy. :thumbup:

Sometimes things suprise you (well, me at least), especially if they've been hyped to no end. About a month into wetshaving I purchased a cased Fatboy, and sold it soon after because I needed money. I never got to shave with it. It kept me wondering if I had missed something.

Well, I kept looking for a good user grade Fatboy after that and finally picked one up. I loaded it up with my standard blade (feather), set it to 3 and gave it a shot. Nice shave buy not quite as close as i wanted. I moved it up to 4 and it has been there for 2 weeks now.

Now I don't know if I just got lucky and this is a exceptionally good Fatboy (I've noticed older razors of the same make can have different blade gaps due to safety bar issues), but I really enjoy the shave it gives me. It's pretty ugly, so I may unload some other equipment so I can have it replated. This one is definitely going into the rotation.
 
Goes to show that dismissing due to hype is equally as bad as giving in to the hype. It's all subjective and you don't know until you try for yourself.
