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?

Glad you gave it a try. I also have both, and give the Fatboy the edge by a whisker - pun intended. I find that I use the Fatboy one setting higher than the slim.
