Gillette 1-9  ADJUSTABLE `60s  Double Edge Safety Razor USA Vintage

Many novices dealing with Gillette Adjustable razors on the auction sites confuse the Fatboy and the Slim.

The adjustment dial on all “Slim boy” has nine positions and starts at "1" and clicks at each number until you reach "9", the most aggressive setting.

The earliest Fatboys (Version 1), from 1958, had a visible nickel collar just below the adjustment dial, a black band at the top of the handle and a slotted retainer cap. Then, around 1959, Gillette changed the Fatboy (Version 2) collet from nickel plated (chrome colored collar appearance)  to bluing (blue-black colored collar appearance) and eliminated the black band on the top edge of handle. Around the beginning of 1960, the Fatboy (Version 3) bottom plate changed to become shorter and more simply made; this would not have been externally visible (so, Versions 3 and 4 would appear the same externally.) Then around 1961, the Fatboy (Version 4) lost the service notches in its retainer cap when Gillette went from threads to crimp fitting
