Only been shaving with DE for 3-4 years. Back then got an EJ DE89. Tried to get an adjustable Gillette at the time on e-bay at the time but didn’t want to wait or bid. The EJ 89 broke a few days ago. Looked on e-bay at fat boys but a little more than I wanted right now. Wanted to get a Gillette super speed from my birth year 1957 but ended up doing buy it now for a 1962 slim adjustable. The birth year nagged me so a few days later I broke down and got the super speed 1957. The two razors have shipped but are not here yet. I broke the news to my wife yesterday about buying two and this morning at lunch she says her mom has grandpa’s old razor. He passed away in the 80’s. Naturally I went over not expecting much. This thing may have been under my nose in the workshop room there for 28 years. Just wanted to be totally sure but based on the photo hopefully inserted here is it a fat boy? Says Gillette F-2 on the bottom but no other indication. Photo is from before a brief cleaning. I am fairly certain it is a fat boy but wanted to check.
Been busy today and have not taken the morning shower and shave yet. Main question is, do I clean it proper with some of the procedures I’ve read or can I use it? Used a toothbrush and soapy water and toothpaste. It’s soaking in some hydrogen peroxide that expired in 11/2016. It’s all I’ve got.
