It's quite a blurry pic, and hard to make out, but it looks more like a slim-handled adjustable to me rather than a Fatboy.

I'll second Wendell, it looks to be a slim adjustable.

No doubt. Slim. My favorite razor.

My wife got me one for Christmas and I have really enjoyed using it alot. Somehow the balance works a bit better for me than the long-handled black and the fatboy - although I still rotate through them as well on a regular basis.

Here is a fatboy:

And here is a slim-adjustable:

Note that the handle on the slim is more slender (ergo the name "slim") and longer than the Fatboy.
