PIF - User Grade F1 Fatboy

[TheLegalRazor]

This F1 Fatboy was PIF'ed to me some time ago by a member on another forum. It was my first Gillette adjustable. It has cosmetic issues. There is brassing on various parts of the head and the black paint on the numbers is gone. However, the razor is mechanically fine, with all the number settings clicking firmly into position and the tto mechanism working smoothly. I subsequently acquired an E3 Fatboy and L1 Slim with the plating intact, and don't need two Fatboys.

As it turns out, I've decided that the Gillette adjustables are not for me and I'll be listing the E3 Fatboy and L1 Slim in BST in the next two weeks. However, I don't want to sell the F1 Fatboy because it was a PIF to me. So I've decided to PIF it here.

The two conditions of this PIF are that this be your first Fatboy, and that if you don't like it you'll PIF it again here. Otherwise, this is open to anyone who simply says he's in. The PIF will close on Sunday, August 11, 2013 at 12:00 midnight Eastern time. I'll pick a winner randomly on Monday, August 12, 2013.

Thank you Gentlemen.

I'm in!

Would be first Fatboy, first Gillette DE razor, first vintage razor, a whole lot of firsts. I've always wondered how this legend shaves.

Super PIF! I'm not in because I already have a fatboy, but they are excellent shavers and somebody is in for a real treat.

I'm in! I have a slim adjustable, but not the illustrious fatboy. I've been watching for them in the bay, but my wallet just isn't fat enough to be able to pursue one at the moment.

Well played sir - the spirit of B&B!!

I'm out however!

Great PIF! I have always wanted to try an adjustable razor. I currently exclusively use open combs.

Not in, but great PIF. I love my Fat Boy. It is my favorite razor.

I'm in! Would be my first vintage adjustable. Thanks for the opportunity.

I'm in! Thanks for the chance for a vintage razor. I've never used a vintage razor or an adjustable one at that!

 

[Lucidor]

I'm in. Always been curious if the Fatboy was all it's made out to be. If you need me to chip in for the postage to Europe, just tell me.

EDIT: I will be AFK most of next week, so in the unlikely event of me winning, I won't answer PM's until 17 18 August.

 

[Eeyore]

I'm definitely in, as I don't have an adjustable!

Thank you for a great PIF!

 

[JayEddie]

Can I be in for someone else? I gave him a Feather Popular, but would love to give him a fatboy as well.

I do not have a mechanically adjustable razor of any sort and age to the re-PIFing terms as stipulated. I'm in.
