ISO vintage 1954 Gillete FATBOY or Slim

[map47]

hi,
at age 58 i am new to DE shaving is there any such thing as a 1954 Gillette Fatboy OR Slim? i think i now have enough for cleaning vintage razors so i am looking to find these razors from my year of birth! i presume EBAY would be a good source? thanks

I don't think Gillette made Fatboys or Slims in 1954. If I'm wrong I apologize. I think they started in 57 (not sure though)

Right, for 1954 the OP might look for a Z-code 40s-style Super Speed: good razors.

No such thing. Fatboys limited in 57, production in 58. Slims came thereafter, in the 60s.

Generally:
Fatboys - 1958-1961
Slims - 1961-1968

+1 Gillette did not produce those razors in that year.
