The Gillette is really a FatBoy, it can easy be seen by the bigger twisting knob, a good Razor and in my eyes the best of the Gillette Adjustables. If its dirty inside you may have the chance to open it, some versions of the Fatboy had screwed nuts inside the knob to fix the razors inside that can easily be opened for cleaning and oiling.

I am definitely going to be opening it up to clean it out. I have read a lot about the advantages of rhodium plating the DE. I think I will be calling in a favor from one of the jewelry shops I used to work for to get this done. Those razors look beautiful plated. Thanks for the confirmation on the Fatboy.

Haha, you caught me. I got so excited about this whole new hobby that I had share and I am really hoping to get as much info about these blades as possible. I have to say I am very impressed with how helpful and welcoming everyone here and on that subreddit are.

That was some garage sale!

The woman at the garage sale said she might have more razors for me to look at so I left my number with her and she called last night. I will be going back out tomorrow because she said she found more of "the bigger ones". I can only think that means more of the wades.

Although im a bit envious i wish you luck to make another find like this!!! :-D

WOW great haul of razors there, and yes nice fatboy, great shavers I have one and still use it from time to time.

For anyone following this I left my phone number with the lady at the garage sale and told her to call if she found anything else like this. Well, she called last weekend and I pick up these two.

Apparently her dad collected them and nobody in the family wanted them so she decided to sell them. Right place, right time.

Wow, Congrats again, seems like you found a Gold Mine :-D
Both look Great, a bit of Cleaning and theyll be real beauties, especially the second one is very very nice.
