"FAT" Handled Techs & "FAT" Boys

[DunEdinRanger]

As a fellow who could be described as "festively plump", I must publicly voice my displeasure at the continued use of the word "FAT" with regard to these razors.

I suggest we need to come up a more politically correct euphemism, lest my already fragile ego gets further crushed, and we wouldn't want that now would we?

Perhaps we can try some of these?

Stout Handled
Thick Handled
Large Diameter
Wide Circumference
Undertall for their weight


Thank You Very Much!

I hope everyone realizes the above is said in jest!

 

[Slade xTekno]

Big boned.

 

[Cutter]

Apologies sir. I own an Undertall for their weight Boy and have just ordered an Undertall for their weight Handled Tech.

 

[Topgumby]

Phatboy.

Ginormous Tech.

BTW, get used to it. How do you think some of us feel when we hear people harping about the "OLD style" Gillettes?

 

[Stubblefield]

As posted elsewhere, I feel the term "Fat Boy" is the most pernicious example of sizeist discrimination in the shave world. You all need to report to sensitivity training.

It could be worse - HuskyBoy and Husky Handled. Anyone else wear "husky" sized blue jeans as a kid in the 50's/60's, and hate it?

Where I come from "Fat Boy" is not a bad thing to be called.

But I look like the love child of Fat Joe and Dr. Death Steve Williams....so I may be prejudiced.

Hate is not the word. Loathe is more apt.

I prefer the term "Gravitationally Challenged" or Girth Impaired."

What about horizontally gifted?

Circumferentially challenged.

My sides are aching from laughing! Please - make it stop!

That must be jelly cause Jam don't roll like that!

 

[Topgumby]

Full figured Tech.

Falstaffian Boy.

 

[jakespoppy]

How 'bout following the ladies lead:

"Plus Size Adjustable, for the full-figured shaver"?

 

[Pete's Kid]

Zaftig adj 1. (of a woman) having a plump and sexually attractive figure. 2. full bodied, well proportioned.

What name did Gillette call them by when they were originally marketed?

 

[vitaman]

I'm not sure about the FB, but I think the Tech was referred to as "Thick Handled".

 

[antdad1969]

Some prefer anorexic's but I am a chubby chaser.

 

[flyfishinzs]

I have a Gillette anorexic adjustable.
