I'm super happy to have received my very first Gillette Fatboy this week . I patiently waited many months to acquire one in good condition (and at a reasonable price) with its accompanying case & blade tin. It is a 1961 G1 1st quarter, with original blades in the tin.
I have had two shaves with it and it is superb! Tbh I had low expectations but it blew me away, it's the smoothest most comfortable shave I've ever had. The first shave was with a Gillette Nacet 3rd use & the second shave was with a Gillette Rubie 3rd use. Both performed excellently, but my slight preference is the Nacet. I had low expectations only due to my bad experience with my Rex Ambassador. I know it's an entirely different razor but it was the only other adjustable I've used.
All in all I love my Fatboy, the shave is so smooth and silky. I am extremely happy with the shaves it gives me and I look forward to many more happy shaves with it .
