You might find this useful 1959 E2 Gillette Fatboy Disassembly.wmv - YouTube . I really enjoy using my Fat Boy DE razor.

good video
Is it just me or does it look like the Top Flight has been breadknifed right into the stabilizer?
He tried fixing it and does that also mess up the honing
It'll make things a little tricky, but you should be able to hone it up.Quote:

At worst you would have to fix the stabilizer. I'm pretty sure there is a sticky somewhere in the wiki for fixing them. I'd link it for you but I have trouble accessing the wiki on my phone.:)Quote:

Fine razors, well ground and out of Ellicottevile NY, finest steel made. Sadly, yours seems to be a concave model which has, as has been said," honed into the stabilizer".
They can be had cheaply and are as good as any fine razor. The scales just suck! :D
I'm going to try to hone it up and give it a shave I just cleaned it up it had rust on it and some stuff Attachment 98678Attachment 98679
I dunno. Seems to have a bad frown. Like I said, they can be had cheap!
