8+ months in, I had one of my worst shaves in months with a Fatboy set on 3 and a Crystal blade. I used the same soap I've been using for several weeks (TOBS Avocado) and today's lather was great. The result was several nicks, a little weeper and the unhappiness of the right side of my neck. Mr. Clubman let me know that he was displeased, too!
By contrast, shaves with a Triangle Tech (ball-end) and Flare Tip are smooth, easy and irritation-free.
In theory, should a Fatboy on 3 be roughly the same aggressiveness as the Tech and Tip? Could mine be maladjusted (and angry at the world)?
I have another Fatboy (cased) that I haven't used yet and I'll probably try it, but I'm beginning to think the FB isn't for me. This is the 4th shave with it and I inevitably end up with a shave ranging from not-great to painful. Maybe a Slim would be better...
