I've used a shim in my 61' Fat Boy for quite a while. I find that it clamps the blade a lot more efficiently which makes the razor much more comfortable and effective. With the shim, it clamps the full width of the blade which seems to stop it from chattering. It was Dad's and passed down to me and I had it sent to Razor Emporium for a tune up and rhodium finish. Exceptional job from Mat and his group. Been using a shim in it since I got it back and I find that I can use any blade and it works well. Whole different razor. Much more enjoyable. Great video. First time that I've seen someone do a comparison between a shimmed and non shimmed razor. Great work!
Thanks buddy! Glad yo uliked the video! It is so nice to have a razor passed on to you. I got a Tech from my grandpa. In which adjustment do you use your fatboy and shim on?
@@thebrazilianshaver I use it on 9. Dad was a trained barber from the old country so he taught me how to straight razor shave when I was young so I always look for the most efficient exposer with any razor and adjust my method to head towards a BBS 2 pass shave without any irritation or cuts. What others find aggressive, I find it efficient. Mild razors take too many passes or blade buffing to get the job done. If I shave every day with a SR I can BBS in one pass and that's what I look for in a DE also. Keep up the great videos! look forward to your next one. Shave on: guy
