1959 E1 Gillette Fatboy Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor | Rhodium Revamp

SKU: RR-1325-7

Description

The celebrated Fatboy adjustable razor, a must have for any wet shaver! Gillette's adjustable generation razor known as the Fatboy has maintained a longstanding popularity, as its unique heft, durability and classic 'cool' factor have made it one of the most sought after safety razors ever created. The smooth butterfly doors, adjustable dial and TTO or twist to open mechanism all make the Gillette Fatboy adjustable the pinnacle of double edge razor technology. 

This razor has gone through our complete Revamp restoration process- including polishing, mechanical adjustment, plating, lubricating and painting. Nothing is bent or broken. The razor head doors open and the TTO or twist to open mechanism works perfectly in seemless motions. Original Gillette Fatboy's had a maroon indicator, this Fatboy's RED indicator pops beautifully with the bright white shine of the Rhodium!

    1959 Fat Boy revamp

    Absolutely stunning! I have a couple of the originals and they work, sort of. This thing is a SHINING example of American craftsmanship at its finest. Yes, it was a little expensive, but you get your money's worth. I have my father's and my grandfather's razors, along with a few dozen others in my collection, but I wanted something to leave for my grandson. This is an heirloom quality razor I will be proud to leave to my grandson. Mat and his staff have done an outstanding job bringing this razor back to museum quality. This is a piece of American history that you can enjoy everyday. I can't say enough good things about it.
