Fatboy Friday!

Dog Whiskerer · Feb 21, 2020

Gillette E-1 Fatboy, set to 3
NOS Schick Super Chromium blade (21)
Pecksniff's shave cream pre-shave
Long Rifle Hawkeye shave soap w/ an Omega boar brush, face lathered
Pinaud Clubman After Shave Lotion

I got this Fatboy in November, for what I thought was a great price...until I noticed a difference in the blade gap on either side. Looking at it, one end cap was tilted down. I was afraid to fuss with it, worried I'd make it worse. I had, after all, two other Fatboys. So I left it alone. Until the other day, when I figured if I wasn't going to shave with it, I might as well try to adjust it. After looking at a disassembly video, it seems like the silo door rod (or whatever it is called) would affect the angle of the end caps. So I applied slight pressure to here:

and noticed the end cap leveling out. Gap still seems a little bit off, but got a nice shave.

I just realized I had myself a nice Fatboy Friday shave today. First shave since Sunday, so cranked it all the way up with a Feather blade.
