There's a Fatboy for sale over at the BST (hmm maybe I shouldn't publicize this lest it's gone! oh well...). PM'd the seller. Decent price, pretty good condition. I've always wanted a Fatboy, I just love the looks of the dang thing BUT....
now I'm suffering from cognitive dissonance (even before buying it, imagine that!). Reason being...
I use a Tech and I absolutely LOVE the low profile head. I have a pretty intricate Van Dyke going on an even with my old TTO butterfly razors it was always hit or miss. Sometimes I made mistakes so bad I had to shave off the whole damn thing!
The Tech is the first razor that allows me to really see where I'm shaving. I'm worried that the Fatboy's head would be too big as some have said.
Will it be a problem? Is the head bigger than other Gillette TTOs like the Super Speed? Or is the bulkiness something I could get used to? I'm a little worried about getting used to it, cuz I've shaved with TTOs for the past few years and even without lather (just shaved with water) sometimes I get big problems lining up my Van Dyke properly.
BUT i love the adjustability of a Fatboy and I LOVE the way it looks!!! Wait I said that already right? HAhaha!
