1961 Gillette Fatboy DE Razor - Used and Refurbished

Date Code: G1

I bought this used in 2023 for a friend to try who ultimately preferred a Slim. I then had this refurbished and replated by Chris at Razorplate in August 2023:
  • He corrected the adjuster clocking to B&B Wiki gaps of 0.022" at 1, 0.045" at 9
  • Painted numbers and ring
  • Brass corrosion mitigated without risk of damage or causing blemishes beyond typical aging character marks
  • Guards and doors all straight and synced

Since receiving back from Razorplate, it's been sitting in my drawer unused. I'm a SE user and don't foresee going back to DE any time soon. I don't have any sentimental connection to this razor, so thought I'd pass it on to someone who would and/or will use it or deems it needed for their collection.

SOLD shipped in the ConUSA
