Picked up a pretty clean 1960 Fatboy today. Had to buy a dud to get it, though.

They usually do, mine has no code on the tray....check the pictures I posted yesterday, maybe 10 posts back, it's one of the rare mistakes. No stamping on the blade tray, and only a molded in 3 on the bottom plate. (There's been a couple of reports of finding a NDC Super Adjustable with the black plastic bottom plate).

Actually, here you go, a picture of the inside tray:

very cool, I've never seen one without the code.
 
I'm starting to build my shave den and I was wondering what razor I should start with the merkur 34c or the merkur futur and what are some slick soaps out there?

I'd go with a pre-war Tech and an OLD type, if I had to start over knowing what I know now, I would get those two and quit. :thumbsup:

Except for the SE razors, I'd get a 1912 and a MMOC and quit. :yesnod:

Denial you would still want to try others just like all of us. Lol

I'm not really concerned with a certain kind of scent just looking to build a good lather with great slickness

For me it would be a 50s Rocket and then call it quits. I inherited a Slim, SC NEW, and a Super Adjustable when I started. I would have saved so much money not buying and then reselling what I didn't like.
 
I bought a Pre-War Gillette Tech from the 'Bay, as it looked in good shape. I was pleasantly surprised by how it showed up today!

The pics for the listing only showed the razor. The button clasp has "Gillette Safety Razor" printed on it.
Before a quick soapy water soak followed by Scrubbing Bubbles:

I spent a little time on Mr Razor site, but didn't see that style case anywhere.
As I said, a pleasant surprise and I am looking forward to tomorrow's shave!

Your case is from a Single Ring Old type.
