Found a Fatboy!
I'm so excited! I decided to run over to one of the local antique shops and I was poking around in a case that had a few straight razors and numerous double edge razors. I looked at a few sitting on the side and thought they looked a lot like Fatboys so I went ahead and looked at dates. Sure enough, the stout razors all had E1 dates, and I do believe the third was an F something, was a bit hard to read. I grabbed one of the E1's and brought it home. It's in pretty good condition but will definitely look into having it fully restored. Not a bad find for $35 I think.

Looks pretty clean! Should do well.

sure is a fatboy. as long as the doors close tight and the dial works fine it should shave great. give it a 5-10 minute boil in a 1 part water and 2 parts vineger bath. it will remove all the gunk. then throw some polish on it and you will be verrrrry surprized!! :)

Yea, they are great shavers I'm sure you will enjoy it. If you search the net there are instructions on how to do a tear down on one.

Thanks for the tips. I'll give cleaning it myself a go.

Any recommendations on a particular polish?

Just about any good chrome polish would do I think.
