Interesting NOS copy of (looks more like a SLIM than) Fatboy...

Yeah they work but aren't nowhere as good as a slim

Very cheap copies....Gillette made some great razors that many tried to duplicate without much avail.

You may consider yourself lucky, many other imitators have had less success at copying the Gillette razors. The workmanship, materials, and final product all have been of lesser quality and many complaints from users all around the world all have agreed on the less than stellar shave results.

More info from an earlier discussion: I think the conclusion is they aren't worth buying.

I bought mine by sheer stupidness hehe wasnt listed very good and no mention of gillette. Im happy though

You'd think if you wanted to copy an adjustable design cheaply you'd go with the progress style of adjustment. Maybe it is hard to get the tolerances right on that floating tray for little cash but IDK.

I got one. Waste of money in my opinion. Blade sits uneven exposed.

I have one but have no intention of using it - oiled and wrapped it and put it away. nifty little box it came in.

I don't recall any of the big Soviet leaders having a "Hollywood" shave.Things that make ya' go--Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I like the way one person on e-prey refers to them as,"Gillette analog". Yeah, right.
