1960 Gillette "Fat Boy" Adjustable Safety Razor

I am posting a new companion to my other Gillette adjustable. This razor is known as the "Fat Boy" adjustable razor. The handle is heavier and a bit shorter than the Gillette Slim Adjustable. My razor was made in the first quarter of 1960 as indicated by its manufacture code F1. If you own a Gillette and want to pinpoint its date of manufacture, visit the ShaveWiki at Badger & Blade to get the posted US Gillette Dating Information.

Gillette Slim Adjustable Safety Razor

I have an affinity for shiny mechanical things, antiques and knives and this does it all. Well, its not quite an antique, but close. I picked this 1962 Gillette Slim up recently and really like the way it shaves. I am not much of a shaver until now...
