Finally Found a Fatboy

[Leatherstockiings]

I sold aluminum cans and cashed in my change jar in preparation for my move this weekend. Since the recycling center is close to my favorite antique store I stopped in on a whim hoping there might be a new vendor or a change in stock. This is what I found...

I never expected I would find one of these in good shape in the wild. If it shaves well I will keep the adjustable and give my Superspeed to a buddy for a college graduation present.

Nice find! I use one of these most days. I haven't touched my super speed in at least a year. Might want to replace that blade though.

You've reminded me. I have a pickup to make and it will be tomorrow.

Sweet find man. Good for you.

The blade was in the razor when I found it. It looks like rust in the pic but in person the blade is copper colored. My best guess is that it's a coating.

In great condition , with a case to boot,,,,

Fine looking razor in good condition. That is a nice fine, congrats. Get her cleaned up, a new blade and enjoy it. They are good shavers once you find the right setting for the blade you are using.

That thing is thoroughly sweet, what a great find. Certainly one of the finest safety razors ever made, a winner every time.

Great find! I use one any day that I need to move a little faster than a straight will safely allow. A Feather blade and the dial on '6' and I get a great shave.
