My latest obsession is vintage safety razors. Right now, I have a 1951 Super Speed, and I just purchased a 1966 Slim, both to go along with a modern Vikings Blade Chieftain Jr. HOWEVER... I've heard nothing but great things about the original Gillette Fatboy. I've seen some for sale, typically going for $50 and higher. Not that this price would be too high, but it did start me wondering: aside from an aborted Kickstarter a few years ago, has any manufacturer made the equivalent of modern Fatboy? That is, a new razor, but with a similar heft and design to the Gillette classic.
