After kinda lurking around the old shaving den here, I kind of grew interested in getting into a more quality shaving experience. I got on Ebay and saw those cool old Gillette Fatboys, and remembered my dad having something like that. So, I called him and asked him if he still had that old silver razor that took safety blades. He wasn't sure, said he'd look around. Well, a week later, this little package arrived at my door, and lo and behold, a Gillette Fatboy! By looking on Ebay, I discovered these are (kinda) date stamped, and this one has a "G" and then a "4." Can anyone help me in dating this? I googled, "how to date a Gillette Fatboy" and got nada. Also, where can I get blades for this baby? It kind of needs cleaning up too -- any suggestions? Thanks, and I look forward to a whole new shaving experience with my father's old razor -- pretty cool!
