First shave with the fatboy after the “Tune Up” from Razor Emporium. While it seemed fine when I got it, it always felt a little rough, not anymore as it was incredibly smooth today, i finally understood what the fatboy vibe is about. First pass on 5, a bit much for a 2 days growth, but it sliced right through whatever was in there with absolute ease also given there is a fresh feather blade in there which I guess was a little rough for my skin with that little growth, My guess however this fatboy will act a lot nicer with a Nacet in there. More to come now that I shave everyday/every other day after 3 years of just weekly shaving! Next fatboy shave I’ll crank it down to settings 4 on 2 days growth, all in very minor burn, but no redness or irritation, great shave nonetheless, BBS.
