Question for all Gillette Fatboy users
I recently started using a Gillette Fatboy & I have to keep the adjustment at the #1 or #2 setting. Any more & I'm taking divots of flesh.
I'm curious, where do Fatboy users keep there adjustment setting at?
Thanks,
Darl (Tarkus)

My slim adjustable is not a fatboy, but pretty close. I keep it on 2.

It depends on the blade and, of course, everyone's face is different, but I generally use a 4-6 on my Fatboy when I use a yellow 7 o'clock or Astra (my preferred choices). If I use a feather blade, I use a two.

I wouldn't of believed that the blade would make so much of a variable
Thanks everyone

I keep mine at 8 with most blades, 7 if it is a Feather.
Sounds to me like yours are either warped or your pressure is real high when using itTarkus likes this.Bjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

So far just 5 with Wilkinson.
Seems a bit mild though

In general, 6-7 for both the Fatboy and the Slim.
The Slim seems to give me a better shave in this range; I'm planning on opening the Fatboy up a bit more when it's up the next time through the rotation.Tarkus likes this.

I keep both my Fatboy & Slim Adjustable on 9 and I use Feather blades.
Note: I pretty much use the same technique with my DE razors as I do when shaving with my straights. Just about zero pressure with guillotine/scything strokes everywhere on my face that I can use them.Tarkus likes this.
