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 opened when the knob at the bottom end of the razor is turned. It stands 110 mm high and weighs just under 70 grams.
The little metal insert at the bottom of the handle is missing on this one, it does not affect function at all, but the new owner may consider a nice plug made from some cool material, just remember to add a pinhole for drainage of water!
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 with a few thousand shaves 'left on the clock'
