Forgot to add @Petronius - sorry. You may need to add on the additional postage to Europe. Hope that is OK.

That doesn't sound right. The Fatboy on 3 works just fine for me. On 1 it struggles, on 6 it's too aggressive for my (mild) taste.I had my first go with the Fatboy on Tuesday evening but unfortunately it didn't go particularly well. The other vintage adjustable I have ('66 Gillette Slim) needs to be on setting #3 to give me great results. The Fatty seemed to barely touch my stubble on a similar setting and by the time I'd finished sodding around with it I managed to make my neck sore so I gave it up as a bad idea. Half of that may have been the blade, Polsilver SI which I just can't seem to get on with at all despite the rave reviews plus I used a brand new soap. Too many variables probably. Though I normally shave on a daily basis I'm giving it a rest until tomorrow when I shall use tried and tested software and a trusty GSB. I reckon I'll need to set the razor to 5 or 6 on the first WTG pass and see where we go from there.
Yeah - I hate PSI too. They’ve ruined every razor I’ve tried them in.Definitely try a different blade too. The PSIs I also find awful. GSB is a good choice...
If you're based in the UK, now a problem, we can even work something out if you're in Europe too...I'm pretty new here too as well as to wet shaving - more active on /r/wicked_edge, though - but would like to try out a Fatboy & Slim to either convince me or put me off buying one, so could you please add me to the list?
Cheers
