Gillette Fat Boy & PAA Atomic Age Bayrum, “Sneak Peek” 2020 Fatboy Replica
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лис 2024
- Back from a small getaway and had to try out the Gillette FatBoy Razor again. This time with a Gillette 7-o’clock blade in it. Also some of the strongest scented Bayrum soap and aftershave that I’ve come across.
Fat Guy from GSC- Coming Fall 2020
100% authentic. 100% affordable. Faithful to the original at half the current vintage razor price, the Fat-Guy will have all of the characteristics of the original Fat Boy (model 195). That is because it will be a faithful replica of a 1959 Fat Boy, a razor that is very sought after by collectors.
Fat Boys were only produced for four short years, so they’re less numerous than Gillette’s other adjustables, such as the Slim Adjustables and the Super Adjustables (Black Beauties).

7 o'clock green are my go-to everyday blades. Can never go wrong with those bad boys.

My Birthday was last week, so I bought a Muhle r41. Tried it out today with a feather (bc I can't help myself) and holy crap that sucker is aggressive! No nicks or rash thank god! Great Video, keep them coming! Thanks and Best Wishes.
Joseph Kraemer Happy Birthday👍💈🎂
I have my Fat Guy ordered...and I picked up a JFK Replitech while I was there! Thanks for the heads up!!!

The Fat Boy can now be purchased on a prelaunch directly from our website.
You should feel free to link / show the video.! This is really happening and so far we are selling one or two per hour.
Sheldon
Just ordered mine hopefully got in before they sold out 🤞!!! Can't wait till I find out for sure if I got one. It will be the 4th GSC razor in my collection.
Sheldon Cwinn 👍💈
@SheldonCwinn ordered my Fat Boy and got the shipping notification a few days ago. Can't wait for it to come in!! Have they already been made I thought they wouldn't ship till this fall.
Great shave Ken! Atomic Age was my first soap from PAA and is one of favourites in the den!
John MacLean 👍💈💈
Great Vid Ken. Love the Burn! I look forward to the release of the replica, I’ll definitely have to get one. I’ll look for you at the Big Shave SW. I won an trip through my company to Scottsdale that very weekend so I can’t pass up the opportunity. See ya there!
David chaffin Awesome David👍👍💈💈💈
I do like both russian made 7 o'clock blades. The Nacet was right behind for me. But due to the higher cost I optioned for the Nacet. I got 500 out of Jordan for under 40 USD shipped.
I'm happy to finaly found the blade that gives me constant shaves.
Always enjoy your videos Ken.
Well done my friend! Those old Gillette adjustable razors are a joy to use. I like the yellow 7 o’clock blades as well. Take care & Thanks, Zac,
zbushong Thank you👍💈
Love PAA's Atomic Age Bay Rum.
And yes, I was expecting that burn, it stays on for quite a bit.
Steven Lim oh yes👍💈
Love Gillette original fatboy and slim razors.
Have 7 o clock yellow..green and blue.
Keep the vids going ken.
Greg Morgan thanks Greg👍💈
I just tried the 7 o’clock with my merkur 34c for the first time today. It’s a nice fit with the 34c. I also purchased a vintage Gillette , slim adjustable J4. Can’t wait to try it out.
Cheers from the Great white north!
Mike I 👍👍👍💈💈💈💈💈
I purchased a 1959 fat boy last week. I love it but find it to be a mild shave even on the higher settings. I'll have to try different blades to see if that helps.
Glad to see you using a classic, you can't go wrong with PAA products.great video!
Doug Harris 👍💈
Whaaaat? A repli-boy? I like the 7 o'clock black the most. Have a great week.
Jim Combs 👍💈💈
Put that blade in the Rockwell 6c or 6s...Absolutely superb!
koosk 👍💈
I have tried a bunch of blades and 7 o'clock permasharp stainless are hands down my favorites.
Hi Ken- Great shave; thank you! Nice to see the Gillette Fat Boy in use again. I hope you have a great week and best regards, as always!
Mike H Thanks Mike👍💈
Great shave. All the heavy hitters weighed in and that Brut is way cool. Makes me want to post a tour of my shavecave but I'm too old and not tech savvy, dunno how.
Schön 👍👍
7 O'clock yellow is in my top 3. For me, Feather will last for more shaves, and I think is a bit sharper. 7 O'clock is much cheaper though.
Have a great week, Ken👍👍👍💈
J. R. 👍💈
Excellent intro Ken. Short, to the point and nice music. And your shave videos are the best.
Ivan Garza 👍👍💈
Hi Ken. A great shave with the Fatso. If they really are going to do a repli of the Fatboy, and I guess they are, they`ll sell em by the millions. Didn`t know the 7 o`clock was so sharp. Might be my next blade. Thanks for the video. See ya next time.
Brian B. 👍💈
Brian B. 👍💈
I like that you pronounce Omega the right way, super cool watch.
Aleksandar Marković 👍👍👍
Nicely done Ken💈💈 I have that soap and splash, really good stuff. I did a Bay Rum shave yesterday using Captains Choice, it's also a good product👌 San Diego!! Love the Gaslight district, party all night on the streets😎 Gotta love the burn man👍 Enjoy!
Terry M Thanks Terry
Hey Ken could you make a video specifically focusing on below the chin ? I always have trouble and miss often the finer hairs even after multiple passes
It's almost impossible to get rid of 100% of the hairs underneath the chin unless you do 12 passes and try 36 different angles. But you don't want to do that unless your skin is immune to razor burn aha
Try a more aggressive razor. If you go aggressiveness enough, it will definitely get it all in two passes with a minimal clean up pass.
I had the same problem until i got a samplepack of blades and found one that got the job done. FOR ME that was
7 o'clock permasharp stainless.
Dang, already at 16.9k subs. You're growing pretty quick, Ken!
Burrito Sandwich Thank you👍💈
Great shave Ken and that looked like a really nice comfortable resort you stayed at. 65 degrees is warm for me right now but I know how those Santa Anna winds are and in that kind of weather, they are like a dull razor blade (no pun intended, bahahahaha). I have this soap and it's awesome. I often pair it with either Pinaud's Virgini Island Bay Rum or some left over Soap Commander Purpose which was their bay rum scented balm. When the word of this new 2020 fatboy gets out, it will go fast. Oh I am now back to using straight razors. Both of my last shaves was perfect.
Stephen Davidson Awesome Stephen 👍💈
Good shave Ken!!! Fatboys always provide great shaves!!! Glad you had a great Valentine's day! My birthday was the day after, so we went to Disney world and just enjoyed the different parks for 3 days. Have a great week !!!!👍
NY Diesel in Fl Awesome👍👍👍👍👍💈Happy Birthday🎂
Thanks Ken great video. That’s replica Fatboy looks cool. 👍🇺🇸
Carmine 👍👍💈
Think my favorite part of your vids is your reaction to the burn lol. Keep up the good work Ken!
Joey Crysel Thanks Joel👍💈
Wow. Pretty cool about the fatboy replica. 😁👍🏼 That's a HUGE Brut bottle! Don't break the shelf. 😂👍🏼
DE Razor Shaving Lol
That GSC Replica is going to be LIT! (as my kids say)
Sean Roberts 👍💈💈
Great shave Ken! You make me want to pull out my 59’ Fatboy. I think I’ll do a tribute shave to Kirk Douglas and pair that with my Spartacus shaving soap. Cheers! 🍻
Miguel Chavez 👍👍👍💈💈💈💈💈💈
Atomic bay rum was one of my first purchases from PAA. It’s super great for summer time. Match it with the EDP he makes as well. Think I’m on my second bottle of it already. I believe I heard Doug say in a UA-cam video somewhere that he was inspired by the burts bees bay rum after shave (discontinued) but you can still find it sometimes on eBay which is quite pricey
PAA Boomtown Bayrum is my favorite... LOL 600 gallons of Brut.... nice!
Rob B 👍👍💈💈
Let's hope if all goes well a new style Fatboy will be available to purchase in UK (price permitting) as the vintage are out my price range at present. Love the Gillette 7 O'clock black de blades
Cheers🥃
William Hunter 👍👍💈💈🇬🇧🇬🇧
Mrs. Surfs is going to have to get used to shearing you with your public. LOL
Never tried the yellows but not a big fan of the green 7' O Clocks,really excited for Big Shave 👍👍👍
Do you got your Big Shave brush reserved?I got a couple from Colorado Razor Designs,does great work.
Troy Jenkins 👍👍💈💈
Troy Jenkins I do👍👍
As always, a great video Ken.
Rohan Bansal Thanks👍💈
Looked like a great shave Ken, haven't tried the yellow 7 o'clock yet, still having fun with my new Broman (they've run out of stock now so I was lucky with my order!)
John Flynn very nice👍💈
Great shave brother, and awesome video clips of the resort! 💈😉🤙🏼💈
Glad to have you back Ken, hope Mrs. Kensurfs didn't send you to the couch for trying to tape a shaving vid 😉
Aleks Gutierrez Lol 👍💈
Hi Ken. I just found your channel. I recently started shaving my head with a cartridge razor. I don’t shave my face, haven’t for years. Still, this channel is really great, it’s welcoming and informative and relaxing. Hopefully from your content I can figure out which safety razor to start shaving my head with as a beginner.
Luke Andrews Thank you Luke, lots of people using the leaf razor on their heads👍💈
Kensurfs thank you man, I’ll check it out.
Holy cow, now THAT's a bottle of Brut ahahaha! That was cool. A Fatboy replica? Can't wait to see how that turns out, that's amazing! I'm a big fan of the 7 O'clock Super Stainless myself
Great shave Ken. It'll be interesting to see the price point Global Shave had on the replica Fat Boy.
Also, that's a kick ass bottle of Brute
Just got an email and ordered my GSC fat boy today. Only 300 being made for a limited production crowd funding campaign for $89 then the regular price will be $149. Can't wait for it to come in but being a pre sale I believe they said wouldn't ship till August.
@@jasonwright7585 that's actually fairly reasonable when you consider what a good condition Fat Boy will go for.
Do they say what the Razor is made out of?
The website didn't say what materials but did say it was the exact dimensions and weight as the original. All parts made in India and assembly in North America. I'm assuming a zinc alloy bit we all know what assuming does lol.
@@jasonwright7585 cool. Thanks for the information.
The SaskShaver 👍👍💈
Used that razor yesterday! I ordered "your" Gillette Wilkenson Sword, Saloon Pk from India. Waited, waited, waited and then the order was cancelled. Nothing specific was stated as a reason. I wonder if the Coronavirus in Asia affected the shipment from the post office. I enjoy your videos.
Jack Bergin That sucks, I know it takes a while to get them but I always order lots
Great start not got a Fatboy and it’s the year of my birth got a 1958 Superspeed Bought the Atomic Age bay rum recently it’s a great soap 🧼
Hey Ken,thanks for the head's up on the 2020 Fat boy Replica! I placed my order this morning and got an extra 10% off for my first order with GSC,I'm stoked...
Another great vid, well worth the wait! Sometimes it does you good to take a break from things. Glad you had a good vacation. All the best 👍👍👍👍💈🏴
7 o clock are in my top favorite blades!
Steven Bowyer 👍💈💈
Good shave, Ken 🖐️🙂👍
Кирилл Смирнов Thank you👍💈
I agree. I like that soap and no clove in it.
She Shaves with Jill 👍👍👍💈💈
I have family in the Mesa/Gilbert/Chandler area. I love it there. Next time you're in Gilbert, check out Liberty Market. Good food & coffee. And you must check all their bathrooms.
The gentleman from France is Filslade. He has a UA-cam channel and he does shaving video. By the way, great video ken 👍
Another kick ass video Ken! Love the Brut ...epic!
Another great video Ken. Could you try Deep Blue Sea or Sandpiper from Stirling? They're inspired by Bleu De Chanel and La Nuit De L'Homme, which are a couple of my favorite colognes.
Can't wait till you try the new razor heads from west coast shaving. Awesome shave man
Always a cool shave with the Fat Boy. Can't wait to try the new Fat Guy Tribute razor when it comes out.
I got the same size bottle of brut more like the vintage brut , on my second one ☝️ love the stuff !!!
Robert Feakins 👍👍💈
Thanks for the video, Ken! Glad you had a great time with the Mrs. Do you know of any wet shave shows in the Northeast?
Paul Asturi I hear there are a few meetups in NY. Check with Kevy Shaves, he will be there in April I believe
@@kensurfs Thanks! I'll check it out.
More partial to the green super stainless 7'oclocks. As always great video have a good one.
Thanks for the heads up on the replica Fatboy! I preordered the chrome and gold!! Correct me if I am wrong, but they won't be delivered till August?? Did you preorder yourself?
Gigantic Brut bottle there, that's my dads favorite cologne. 👍
Patrik Lanzen 👍💈💈💈
Well you're certainly set for life with Brut aftershave lol!
Adam For sure👍👍👍💈
I dig that skull soaking mug, I need to find one of those:)
IAMCDB Crystal Skull Candle Holder👍👍💈
@@kensurfs Thanks sir.
Kensurfs Kingdom of the Crystal Skull :D
Thanks Ken. I’ll pick up one of those fat boys when they come out. Kinda looking forward to it. Have a great week.
Nice replica campaign! Looks like it's modeled after a rare F-4 (1960) Red dot Fatboy. Interesting.....but then one photo shows a regular Fatboy with a clicker spring. So, which one is it??? Either way great campaign!
Great shave Ken. Would you say those 7 O clock blades are sharper than the Wilkinson Sword?
I’m so excited for the fat guy release in the fall! I was trying to comment to tell you, but you hadn’t posted a recent video so I told Sinatra Lennon lol. You think the prices will drop for fat boys? I really want a vintage one.
Dude Perfect8 👍👍👍💈💈💈
I just received a email from GSC to reserve the Fat Guy. I also am interested to see what happens to the vintage FatBoy market.
What's up !!!
I'm a fan of Brut, you should give some aftershave (LOL) 😂😂😂
Jonny Tesillo Lol
Late to the party here, nice shave Ken. I really like my '59 Fatboy also.
Cheers!
Great shave! I love my Fatboy, always a consistent shaver. I’m a bit on the fence over a replica, but if they get it right it could definitely be a good razor. Have a great rest of the week.
We'll get it right. I went into this business to one day remake the Fat Boy, my favourite razor. It is a great razor. We are well on the way to deliver the replica. It will be very close to the original. We have improved some of the internal parts by making them out of steel rather than brass.
Sheldon Cwinn thanks for the info and the reply! Sounds like you guys have a solid game plan and mean business. I’ll be rooting for you and I’ll be looking forward to seeing the final product!
Red Island Shaver 👍👍💈💈
Excellent video, shave meet up sounds great.
I’m wondering what the replica Fatboy will be made of. I’m doubtful it will be nickel plated over brass like the original.
DrRonP I’ll have to ask
I have enough blades to last a year. So what's a few more? Gonna have to try the 7 o'clock.
Ken, do you know of any pre-shave that has no scent ?
Thanks
Bill
I bought a vintage 25.6 oz bottle of brut by faberge off ebay. Its the same size as that big bottle you just got.. like I said this was the vintage stuff,not the new stuff. Arrived just tonight. The post office put the box in a plastic bag because they managed to crush the glass bottle and destroy it.. kinda heartbreaking. Very expensive to get that bottle.. those huge vintage bottles are bringing $200..
ky gun runner I hope it was insured
I prefer the 7oclock yellow over the feather
Alex Karapalevski 👍👍👍💈💈
I’ve never tried the gold 7’o clock razors but I’ve tried the green ones and they are not that good for me.
Which ones do people recommend the green ones or yellow 7 o’clock. I have the green ones Russian.
Have you ever nicked yourself bad enough to need a stypic stick to get it to stop bleeding? I've had to use one a few times, when I first started wet shaving. - Dale
Thanks again Ken!
PS - I loved the video and now my wife wants to go to San Diego on vacation. Gee thanks. LOL!
Sheldon Cwinn Thank you👍💈
$89 for now and $149 after for a replica fatboy??? That is craziness. I have 2 fatboys one was $10 the other $20, also an executive in 99% condition that was $35. Prices are in cad. Cant imagine paying more for a "fake" fatboy.
Jay Vengeance I’m hoping Gillette comes on board again with one
The reason the Fatboys, or the official name The 195 Adjustable, are so popular is that they were only manufactured from 1958-1961. The Slim Adjustables were manufactured from very late 1961-1968. In 1969, the 109 super adjustable and 84 super adjustable also known as the Black Beauty, started being made. That Fatboy was just an amazing razor with incredible smoothness!! I can't wait to see how the replicas are made! My only question is...if they are going to me made just like the original, did Global Shave have to gain permission to do so from Gillette?? What if Gillette wanted to reproduce its original Fatboy?? Just curious.
Good shave Ken
Mr Cool 👍👍💈
A fatboy replica!? I'm getting one!!
No, a real one. You can buy them on ebay.
Daniel Long 👍💈
Man i want to try that soap but the pay pal link didnt work so bummed
kurumaSMASH oh no
Was hoping Gillette itself would Cole out with a Fatboy replica or re-release rather.
Conversational Shaving I’m hoping they take notice too👍💈
I have a cologne for you to try in the classic cologne series Paul Sebastian it was released in 1979 my dad used to wear it back in the day my mom said
Love the video...and the brut!!!
Royal Willis 👍👍💈💈
I was looking forward to this video😃
G Nels 👍👍💈💈💈
Great shave have a great week
What is a good blade to use that won’t cut me up?
They should make a executive I love mines
Danny Rios 👍💈💈
You should make a video that you use a straight razor instead
Jr Choto I’m too shaky with a straight razor
You had me at Bay Rum! 😬
Bradley C Lol
What shaves more efficient? The slim or the fatboy?
I do not have the fatboy but the slim is the best razor for everyday shaving. The higher settings might be a bit mild for very thick beard but it is good.
Michael Dietzen I find the shaved close, but the Fatboy is heavier 👍💈
Great video Ken enjoyed the video of your week end get away with your wife. Happy wife happy life LOL. Be safe and have a great day.
Bill Duke Thank you 👍💈
Ken I like that huge Brutt after shave bottle you got, it will surely last lifetime for you buddy
Nate 4Shaving 👍💈💈
Terrific news you gave today on kensurfs news.. 😀nice shave tho love you bro
