November 1960 Fatboy

[Magic Man]

Hey Gang - What would the date code on a Fatboy be for the 4th quarter of 1960?

That's my birthday, and I think it would be really cool to be using a razor that is as old as I am!

F-4, and it is cool having a birth year razor. I shaved on my birthday with a birth year and quarter Red Tip.

F4 is correct, and as such, I think you 'need' a Toggle rather than a FatBoy. A Toggle is a really unique razor that was made for a very, very short period of time, including what would be the date code for your birth razor. Considering how much nice FatBoys are going for on eBay, a Toggle might not be all that much more if you get lucky. You might even be able to find a Toggle really, really cheaply at an antique shop, which is what I was able to do. You'd probably have more luck finding a FatBoy, but you never know ...

And here's a link to the Safety Razor of the Week thread talking about the Toggle, in case you want some more information on it. http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=66258.

You would probably have better luck posting an ad in the WTB section of the forum. Good luck in your search!
