Picked up 2 fatboys, a superspeed and a travel razor on ebay, vendor was local so I picked them up this morning. Gonna see how they shave in comparison to the 1932 Pat. Canadian Tech I have been learning on. Still have a birthyear fatboy on its way, think I'll wait and have my inaugural shave with it earlier next year when we both turn 50. Got a slant on its way as well. Hmm as a newbie, could I possibly have developed RAD?
My Fat Boys arrived!

I suppose if you add in the two schick injectors, the Gillette flair tip,two open combs, a frankenrazor travel kit, the Gem Junior and the six straight razors I have, it's a reasonable start for a month in.
How about some pictures? BTW, if you don't have RAD already, you soon will. 
My wife hates what B&B has created.

Just did a shave at a #4 setting with a derby blade. I shaved earlier today, but wanted to check this puppy out. Smooth shave, no irritation. I like the extra weight vs a Tech. Will play around with the settings. Cheeks are definitely BBS, neck area, well that is still a work in progress. Do folks change settings depending on where they are shaving on their face or neck?
I do 2 passes + touchups. N-S pass (~WTG) is at 3. S-N pass (~ATG) is at 4 or 5, depending on whether I'm 1 or 2 days out from my last shave. The hard part is remembering to re-set back to 3 at clean-up time... I'm trying to build this habit, but I can see why some guys find the single setting they like and just go with it... less hassle, nothing to remember.
Hope it helps,
