This review is about the Gillette 195 Adjustable “Fatboy” image974×262 3.3 KB Introduction This will be the second part of the Gillette Adjustables trilogy.
Thanks for the review! I bought it when I started classic shaving and I haven't used it yet. After your review, as always, I save on buying the razor and I feel like using it.

View commentThis razor is a true gem on a visual and functional level. I just sold it a few weeks ago, I loved how it shaved, but I'm too practical and this piece requires a lot of care for my taste. Great review as always!

View commentAlways a pleasure to share @Lenmar! Yes, I understand you. Sometimes I have 3 or 4 clippers waiting to be handled...it is what it is. I'm glad I was able to give you some positive motivation! Enjoy it a lot!

View commentCompletely agree. A jewel scandal. I had to find a way to better adapt it to my technique. But when I got it, it worked perfectly. I don't consider these Gillettes super intuitive. It is a beautiful clipper but it needs care.

View commentThanks for another great and complete review, I will read it a couple more times for pure enjoyment and desire to learn. Not only is it the history of shaving, this razor and its “sisters” are a reflection of an era and a worldview.
