Hey Big Boy! Why dontchoo come up and see me some time? 1930 Gillette Big Boy De Luxe, serial number 47284. Obviously used but not much. Each image clickable for larger view:
hey! I got one of those! Got it years ago. Don't think it had ever been used till I got a hold of it. Bought it because I was looking for a "travel box" for a Toggle. Didn't fit but I kept the Big Boy because I liked the fit and finish. Gave up trying to travel with the Toggle when I got the Darwin.
Great score! Beautiful razor -- hope you get at least one shave out of that classy classic! Congratulations!
Thanks everyone. I'm very pleased to have added this one to my collection. I've shaved with both a Big Fellow and Big Boy before and for some reason, just don't like it. Could be the weight of these monsters. I find them to be too aggressive for my liking. But they sure are pretty to look at.
My findings exactly! The Big Boy is a beautiful razor. The underside of the blade deck is perfection. But, you'd better be sure you've got enough skin layers before you shave cause you're gonna lose a few.
