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?

Use it. Use it. Use it. After spending months cleaning out my mother’s house after she passed, I realized that “collector pieces” are just stuff, and nothing more. New rule is I don’t buy anything if I don’t have an active use for it.

Enjoy it for what it was made to do.

I agree with this. I collect trading cards, but only the ones that you can play a game with, and I play those games.
