Result: 4.6/5.0 OK, where do I begin. I used the new Fatboy on Saturday and found it to be a nice mild shave. I use the Gold Super Adjustable on Sunday and Today. Also a mild shave. I threw the Treets in the Super Adjustable today. I'm trying to find the right razor for these blades. Guess what? They did fine in this razor. Three very good shaves.

Damn amazing. I didn't even FEEL the aftershave. That was a first for me. The TI was so sharp that I wasn't sure that it was cutting the first stroke because there was no resistance. And I was reasonably fast today.

Bloodt amazing...love my straights.
