First Fat Boy Shave

I've been shaving for quite a while and previously have moved between a slim adjustable, futur, and a new open comb razor. I had pretty much settled on the futur, but had always wanted to try shaving with a fat boy.

So, I finally ended up getting one off of the bay. It's not perfect, the doors don't close right every time, but it works. Anyway, I decided to give it a try during my last shave. So, I popped in a personna blade (typically not a blade that I like, but I didn't want to wreck a blade if the razor wouldn't close) and started to use it.

The shave was really nice, but far less aggressive than my normal futur. I think I like the shave, but I'll have to try it again. I was surprised by how light it felt in my hand, but I guess compared to the futur most razors are light.

Anyway, I'm going to try it again tonight, but switch blades to something I normally use. Hopefully the next shave will be even better.
 
When I found my Fatboy and started using it I was quickly up to setting #7. Great shave but I too thought it would be more aggressive. I'm not faulting it. It was just my impression before using one. It is always in my rotation.

I love the Super Adjustable. Didn't like the fatboy so much.
