Active Pass Around: Fatboy

Glad all is resolved and yes, I feel a fool.

Personally I blame Big Rob being as he came to my place, drank all my malt, moved on to my Cognac and then walked off with the my razor. Nothing a few pints and a burger can't fix. One day :(

To be honest I will be glad to have my 60 back as:

1) I wasn't born in 1959. Not even conceived. Rob fell off the end of a production line so doesn't have a birth year, more a year of maufacture

2) I am in the process of getting a replating price. Would have looked strange if the original pass around returned looking all shiny and new

So come on chaps, next volunteer please. You will be surprised what a great shave can be had with a razor over 60 years old.

It is older than me by one year and performs far better.
 
I have only one comment to pass...... ;)

It could be a new forum policy, if anything goes wrong eg a photo doesn't upload, the first course of action should be to blame Rob.

Poor Rob :(

PS, was there ever a 1962 model?

No problem Tony. You do need another DE. We all need more stuff in our lives. It's capitalism for you.

PM me your address and it will be on its way. The quicker this razor gets out of my door the quicker it will stop being the bane of my life.

A 1962 Model T? Didn't Ford stop making them at the turn of the last century?

It appears so

Gillette Adjustable Fatboy

For sale only is this superb Gillette Fatboy, date code G2 which I believe dates it to 1962. I've had a few Fatboy's over the years and this is without a doubt the best. I doubt that you would find a better example. This was a real 'barn find' having been found in a drawer in the states. I...

I don't know if I qualify to join the list for this one (I haven't been on that long), but if it is possible I would appreciate being added. I've been looking to pick one of these up recently and a try up front would help seal the deal.

No drama if I haven't been on long enough!
