Gillette Fatboy Adjustable vs Rockwell 6C

“These prices in this condition are pretty high compared to ebay. I'd make sure to haggle on this. That fatboy for $55 is insane. $35 for the red tip is right at market, offer $30 unless you have a few that you are picking up. What's the price on the slim? I'd offer 100 for the fatboy, slim, and red tip, and ask to have them throw in either the gold fat handle tech or the super speed flare tip next to it. If they were polished and adjusted these prices might be more in line. I have a huge collection of these vintage Gillettes and buy quite a few in found condition from various local and online sources.”

“I saved what mailman169 wrote on just this sunject. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing: Had a chance to use the .68, and I like it a lot better than the 6c. Here is why: 1. It is a lot thinner than the 6c. This makes it easier to shave under the nose. 2. There is more gap under the blade so that hair doesn't get stuck. With the 6c, I had to sometimes unscrew the plate to get hair out when my hair was a bit longer. Hair rinses right out with the GC. 3. The 6c isn't wide enough to hold the entire blade, so it sticks out slightly on the ends. This can cut just because the blade is so thin. The GC is slightly wider to cover the width of the blade. 4. As for shave quality, the GC felt so smooth (I used a wilkenson blade). I also felt I would never cut myself. I could have probably gone a little more aggressive, but I am okay with what I have. I might get the next level plate to go with it. Overall, I am really happy with the GC and Idk if I will use the 6c anymore.”
