Fatip, Progress or Weber ARC?

**Teddyboy** · 07-26-2012, 05:05 AM

For those of you who have tried all three of these razors, which would be your go to razor if you could only have one?

I have not voted b/c I just got all three this week, and am enamored with different aspects of each. I just thought the prevailing wisdom could provide some interesting insights.

Fatip

Never tried the Weber ARC so don't know if I have a valid voice, but absolutely the FaTip.

I assume that you have tried the Progress. Thanks for voting. It's only 3 votes so far, I am surprised they are all for the Fatip (I love it too!)

Weber is not only a terriffic razor- it is an American made bargain compared to other SS razors!

I am a Weber fan.

(and I do have both Fattip and Weber, Fattip is nice too but Weber seems smoother and easier to shave with to me.)

**dharasick** · 07-26-2012, 09:05 AM

The answer is YES.

**turtle** · 07-26-2012, 09:16 AM

I thought I could live with nothing other than my Vision 2000. In fact I did sell every other razor except that one (and the ones I bought 40 years ago) at one point.

They it hit me. WHY....

So now I have more razors than I can shave with and not use the same one again for a couple of months.

BUT...

Now I am thinking that my Cobra could be the one I could live with exclusively but no way will I get rid of anything again (unless it is a duplicate)

Fatip!

**ERVARGASNY** · 07-26-2012, 12:09 PM

I Have all 3 and the Weber Takes them both by a Mile.

Weber, Weber, Weber. Take that BOTOC

**Mendel** · 07-26-2012, 04:16 PM

My Webers rule!

**jepeck** · 07-26-2012, 09:05 PM

+1 on the Cobra. I'm having to force myself to pick up my Weber, Fatip and R41. This is also a problem because I have about 800 DE blades.

**Predict** · 07-26-2012, 09:36 PM

For quality weber. For best shave fatip.

**drocu** · 07-26-2012, 10:20 PM

It seems to me that these three razors are vastly different from one another, except for the fact that they're all DE razors. I sort of think it's an unfair comparison.

I've only ever used the FaTip and really like it.

Well...its not a razor functional analysis poll...Op just wants to know what razor you would prefer for his own intents and purposes and not as a consensus to razor function.

Gald to hear. My weber should arrive today!

**giajmes** · 07-27-2012, 08:50 AM

Definitely would take the Progress (LH for me) out of the list of razors you mentioned.

Weber ARC with their Bulldog handle would be very close 2nd... if *long-term* maintenance were an issue, well then it go to the Weber since there are less functional parts to worry about :)

**bbmoe** · 07-31-2012, 05:13 AM

Of those, I've only tried the Progress. I think it gives an amazing shave, but I'd like to try a Fatip next

**JDTTO** · 07-31-2012, 05:26 AM

Have not tried any of these

I am not an open comb man (to be fair, I only used a NEW LC) so it would either be Weber or Merkur.

If it would be my only razor I would go for the adjustable Merkur with short handle.

However, if I was committed to a single razor without any opportunity to replace if work or broken then the Weber would probably be a safer choice.
