Thanks guys! I'm just using the passaround Digress one last time and will then give this a spin for a week or so.
Will report back with thoughts!

Anyone know if I missed something and Whosthedaddy already did have a shot? I can't see anything about it.
Thanks

Ok, I think I know what happened here, which was Lee sending the razor to Ben instead of WTD. Yep, and I shoulda caught that myself....sheesh.
So unless I'm wrong, WTD will be next then (sorry) after Ben is done.
That sound right now?

Whosthedaddy said:This could be an interesting experience, seems to split divides in whether you like it or not. Also how it compares to the Digress as an adjustable.
I had a D4 Fatty & the blade gaps were as follows:Whosthedaddy said:With the more adjustments on the Gillette compared to the Merkur, can you actually sense the difference when cranking the notch up or down! How different is lowest to highest setting?
Ben88 said:I didn't take the Digress above 3 as I didn't feel like I needed too. After last night shave I think I might prefer the Fatboy....
Last nights shave :
3 days of long growth
Shower and bulldog face wash
PAA CaD mentholated pre shave
Tiki 'The Captain' (Post shave is so good on this)
Fatboy on 9 throughout. 1 pass WTG, 1 pass XTG and some tidying up/buffing.
Thayers witch hazel
Clubman Musk (scent goes nicely with the Tiki soap)
Nivea sensitive ASB
What a shave!! The Fatboy on 9 was incredibly smooth. At no time did it ever feel like it was going to bite me and I was left with absolutely no razor burn or irritation. 3 days of growth almost totally gone in one single pass. The efficiency of my open comb ATT but without the feeling that it could get you if you were careless.
The difference between setting 6 and 9 is quite vast in my opinion. Some people have mentioned they aren't a fan of the TTO razors as they don't hold the blade as stable as a 2 or 3 piece might. Personally, I cannot tell any difference.
One more shave with this over the weekend and then on to whoever is next! Props to the Dodgy American for giving me the opportunity to try this out
