The Gillette Black Beauty is basically the slim with a longer, black handle, the head profile is also slightly flatter than the Fatboy, later versions had a plastic tray at the bottom, but for obvious reasons we prefer the metal ones as with this razor. This is certainly one of the tallest adjustable razors out there, with a lot of stick to hang on to!
The razor has 9 settings that clicks into position as you twist the dail below the head. The razor has a butterfly mechanism that opens two doors when the knob at the bottom end of the razor is turned, allowing for quick and easy blade changes. The razor stands 110 mm high and weighs just under 70 grams.
The dail adjustment on this razor is much like new, and the razor is in pretty good nick with no plate loss, it does have a few scuffs here and there, but functions as it should, and certainly has a few thousand shaves 'left on the clock'
