Fattest Gillette handle?

I have a few uncased razors starting to take up space & I've been looking for a decent rack. One that I think I'd like specs a 10-13mm tube. Any ideas which is the widest handle Gillette made? If I were looking at the "normal" rack, I could just open the hole up with a Dremel, but I'm looking at a drying rack which has pegs sticking up instead of holes that the razor drops into. Any ideas?

Mods, please move this to the safety razor forum please.

Just by ruler and eyeball. Measured at the widest point which is the base of the handle. I can dig out the calipers if you need something more accurate.

Fatboy---a hair over 13mm
Big Fellow---just over 12mm
#16---almost 12mm
Red Tip---11mm+

No idea on a 195 prototype which might be wider because of the adjustment dial.
 
Thanks Gruder!!
Peter, I'm glad you mentioned the 195! That one totally slipped my mind. Right before I went to bed, the idea hit to use a 13mm socket to measure the handles. I think I'll order this rack & if need be, carve the posts to fit the Fat Boy. My prototypes will likely be put into a much nicer home.
