Top flight and Gillette fatboy
Here I have my cousins top flight that I'm going to shine up and come back to life and a Gillette fatboy d3 and I finally will learn how to take apart the de I'll have to read up on it before I do it

Is it just me or does it look like the Top Flight has been breadknifed right into the stabilizer?

It'll make things a little tricky, but you should be able to hone it up.Originally Posted by Tylerbrycen

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.

Top Flite made some fine razors. Here is a concave model and a wedge! The scales were CHEEP! The blades are magic, if a good one. Burrell cutlery was founded by a Burrell who married one of the Case daughters. Seems they did mostly Military contract, hence the name and logo.
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!
