I've been wondering for a while about buying an old Gillette adjustable to experiment with, and recently I decided it would be cool to get one that's the same age as I am. For me, that would be a razor with a D2 date code.
I know that the first fatboys were manufactured in 1958, but a quick check of eBay only shows (outrageously-priced) fatboys with date codes from the latter part of the year. Does anyone know what the earliest date code for the fatboy is ... do D2 fatboys actually exist?
(And on another note, does anyone know precisely where the "fatboy" term was first used? I'm sure Gillette never used it in their marketing, even in those less politically-correct times.)
Thanks!
