Woke up abut 0430 and couldn't get back to sleep s thought I would make myself smooth and pretty for my wife since it is Valentines Day.


I used my new FatBoy and one of the "Shaving Revolution" blades. Initial review is I shouldn't try two new things at once. Did not start great, some small nicks and the blade seems pretty aggressive. Definitely sharp and I reminded me of the on time I used a feather blade.

What I don't know though is if it was the blade or the razor. Probably would be better using a known blade with the new razor or a known razor with the new blade.

My Slim Adjustable lives at "3" and that is where I set the FatBoy. After two strokes I backed it off to "2" and ended up with a total of 4-5 very small nicks doing my usual three-pass shave. None required styptic and they can't even be seen now.

Nicks aside, the combo gave me an extremely close shave. I 'll put the blade in my Slim Adjustable for my next shave so I have a sense of the difference between it and my usual Personna or PolSilver. Then I will put a Personna in the FatBoy for the shave after that. That will give me more of an "Apples to apples" comparison of the new blades and razor.

And replace the PolSilvers w/ Wilkinson Sword and those would be my "desert island" three.

I'll never give up my PolSilvers!

Had a chance to try the “Shaving Revolution” blade in my Slim Adjustable. Shave seemed noticeably milder than it was in the FatBoy.

Definitely a sharper/harsher blade than the Personna, but gives a good smooth shave. Next test will be a Personna and a PolSilver in the FatBoy for comparison to the Slim.

My guess is a setting of “2” on the FatBoy should be close to the setting of “3” I use on the Slim.



Update next week!
