"New" '61 Fatboy

I am finally the owner of a Gillette Fatboy/195. It is a 1961 G3. On deck for Monday.

Very nice looking razor. Enjoy.

Good looking razor. I have a G1 (birth quarter) and love it. For Fatboy February, I used it for a full month and really came to appreciate it.

Enjoy yours!

Very nice. Congrats.

My birth year razor also. definitely spoils you for other adjustables.

Very nice. I think that you'll be pleased.

Unfortunately, as I was born in '55, there'll never be a birth-year Fat Boy for me.

+1, me too but, my wife was born in '58 so I have a nice D3 Fatboy and it shaves real nice. OP enjoy yours.

Very nice looking enjoy the shave on Monday.

That is a very good looking razor!

Binoy, I've got four, so I didn't let it stand in my way.

Congratulations! You're going to love it!

I use a '59 E2 as my daily shaver. WTG @ 4 and ATG @ 3, with a little touch up gives a near-BBS every time.

Enjoy.

Wow, very nice. Looks brand new.
Congratulations!

A fine looking razor!

Well done bro!

Congrats! That is very shiny. Enjoy your adventure.

1 more day......

Nice razor bcat. What's the brush?

Congratulations - that's a real looker! (it's also the best quarter ever for Gillette razors and baby boys).

Enjoy.

Thanks y'all! I got to try it this morning. I set it on 6 to compare to my slim. It seems a tad more agressive on 6 than the Slim on 6. With a slight angle adjustment, I got an excellent shave: smooth, close, and nick free! I am going to like the Fatboy!
