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:
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

- 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
