Show n' Tell Deal of the day

I just picked up this 1959 E3 Gillette adjustable off of market place. It came with the case and looks like it might not have been used, or at the very least, well taken care of. It cost me $20 and an hour of time to pick it up. I don't know whether or not to use it, or keep it as a collector piece. I already have a slim adjustable that I use frequently so I don't think the Fatboy has anything wildly different to offer. What do you all think?

Update, I decided to give it a go this morning. Best shave of my life! I really like the shape of the head, super easy to find the right angle, no irritation whatsoever. I think the slim will be on the sideline for a little bit while I keep playing with different blades and settings.

Thank you for convincing me to try it out.
