Gillette Fatboy Cleaning - Plating Project
So I now have three Fatboy razors. This one here is my most recent pickup - thank you flea market guy for the awesome deal $2.00 !!!!!
With the price being so low on this one & the amount of plating that is missing - I decided to disassemble the razor to clean it properly and get a new plating finish on it also. The plating will be nickel just as the factory finish. If the results are satisfactory then I may consider a new plating job on my Gold Executive Fatboy - I am unsure because of pricing on 24K gold plating.
The disassembly was actually quite easy. I watched the video on YouTube and read the guide a few times. Ten minutes later it looked like this (both springs are not shown, but are safely in a baggy) - More pictures after it comes home from plating.

Damn that looks nice!
I just gave my FB another go today (last attempt wasn't impressive on a 4), now I'm quite pleased at setting 7. Came on here looking for ways to maintain/clean it on a regular basis. Now I'm wanting to get it re-plated lol
I'll have to look up your friend and see what he would it would run me.
Thanks!
