I gave you a 'like' just to be nice - but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Is it Jockanese?

It is a 4th quarter 1960 Fatboy in lovely condition.
I had my first shave with it today and it performed wonderfully.
BBS on its first run out cant be beat.
I am going to enjoy learning to use this beauty.

Sorry Uncle B @Uncle Bertie just seen your post after I posted the last message. I will take some photos of the box and its contents in the morning when I can get some decent light to show it all off.

I am now reduced to buying razor shaped objects.
I picked up the old printer's block that I am using as a paperweight.

 

[Mrchick]

I picked up this hone in a lot that picked up at an Antiques Store. It has a good reputation so I honed a razor for tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the shave.

As requested by @Uncle Bertie here are some pictures of the Fatboy F4 with its box. I shall be giving this another run out shortly.
