My tried and true Fat Boy is on permanant hiatus...

[Pike]

Until recently my 30 or so years of shaving has been with just two razors: A slim my dad gave me as a teenager, and a garage sale Fat Boy I picked up in the 90's (with a Brit New as my travel razor). I have picked up a few other razors over the years...given them a novelty shave and tossed them in a box. I never thought I would ever enjoy a razor more than the Fat Boy....Until I picked up this on the BST from a very fine member. By far the most comfortable shave I have ever had! I guess the weight, blade gap, etc... just matches my technique perfectly. Even with my newly acquired RAD, I truly believe this will be my daily goto razor until I am 6 feet under! I realize one can't find these on every corner shop, but if you have the opportunity I HIGHLY recommend giving one a try!!!

Congratulations on finding your new DErbvana.

Now, how much will you sell me your Fatboy for?

I have 2 slims and 2 Fatboys that I got early in my "collecting" career. Since finding Brit Gillettes they never see service !

There's just something about the Brits for me too !!!! They look better, feel better and shave better !!!!

Congratulations.

I had a similar epiphany when I tried a Merkur HD.

Same thing when I tried an Old Type Gillette My Super Speed joined the ranks that your Fatboy is now enjoying .

The 66 is one of the best Gillettes IMO.

I agree with your opinion of that excellent B&B member and distributor of wonderful vintage razors. Poonjaji is a great resource and it's wonderful that he helped you with your discovery of the British classics. When you can try the Aristocrat Jr. Also the #15 open comb and the classy #58. these and others will really provide you with the best shaves!

Poonjaji is such a kind and generous man! I cannot say enough good things about this gent!

And I do have a #15...also by way of the BST I am turning into a Brit Aristocrat nut!! As $$ and opportunity present itself, I would like to have one of each Aristocrat!!
