    Default I just won this on the 'bay. Pretty sure that it is a Fatboy

    The person only had it listed as a Gillette Double Edge Safety Razor, but if I am not mistaken, it is a Fatboy.

    You are correct, that appears to be a Fatboy. What price did you end up paying?

    Agreed, its a Fatboy ... curious on final bid also? (If you don't want to tell us, that's okay ... but no more dates with my sister!)
    BOTOC - GEM MicroMatic OC ... Gentle enough for a grizzly but made for a man!

    The only cartridges I own ...go into my guns!

    $31.99. My brother just picked up one for $40, and this appears to be in about the same shape. Will break out the Maas and my microfiber and have a go at it.

    I'd say you got a pretty good deal! It's tough to find Fatboys in anything resembling good condition for less than $50 on the 'Bay.

    Butterfly razors seem to make a lot of money on fleabay. We can pick Rockets, Superspeeds and adjustables up at car boot fairs and flea markets in the UK for much less than the equivalent of $10

    Yeah...I think it is not bad deal at all, although my wife may not agree, she keeps asking me "isn't one razor enough".

    Isn't one purse/pair of shoes/lipstick/etc enough?
    I am frugal when I can be, so I am able to be extravagant when I want.

    Nice score bro! if you check out the photos of the one I posted yesterday, it was very close to the same shape....now it looks near mint....I shaved with it yesterday.....LOVED IT....a bit different feel than the slim...I also used a blade I don't typically use...a supermax double platinum.... the combo gave me what I can only describe as a "legendary shave"

    Thank you sir, for not referring to it as a "Flair" tip.

    To the OP - Nice score on the Fatboy!
