Will try to get those pics for you -- within the next few weeks.
Safety Razor Acquisition Thread.
- Thread starter BigFoot
- Start date
So many great razors posted this week, especially yesterday and today!
I'll add one. Had to go outside my local shopping zone for this one. Probably a pretty good deal for this one, for after it cleaned up, its in very good condition. Only one place rubbed down to nickel, and that's on the edges of the doors...fairly common for a used plated executive fatboy. The worst place for the plating, as its gone, is the retainer cap. Its pretty banged up. And yes, I repainted the numbers. I'm real happy with it, hopefully it shaves as well as it looks, cause this could easily be my daily driver looken' like 'dat! F-1 1960 Executive Fatboy
I will add, it looked fine on the outside when I got it...a little dirt and soap scum...but the dial wouldn't adjust down to one easily....started the soaks and clean outs...and a freaking trash panda sized hair blob came out from between the adjuster plate and base plate....almost dry heaved a bit for that one! haha
Here's a pick of some of that hair blob...

Spent six whole dollars on the Gillette in a store. It will need some TLC.

Excellent! Does yours have any flea bites? Mine has one and it seems to me these Executives are susceptible to them. Not sure why. I've seen quite a few with plating issues.
Yesss!!!! Those are the best finds!!! Cheap and rare!One from the mail, and one rescue today!

Here is my take:
Seller's photos (Not THAT great, I know)...

No flea bites at all. Just the nickel coming through on the doors, but its just from previous use. I honestly couldn't believe it...as the sellers pictures looked like it could have had some rough spots. I got lucky, there's no doubt. I must say I do enjoy the knurling more on the executive fatboy over the standard. Not a huge difference, but noticeable in hand.
Can't wait to be jealous of what else you bring in! haha heavy hitter week Continues!

That's fantastic that the seller has it stuck to the top of the case! Looks like a good one though, nice find!
Well... he/she took the photo upside down to start... 
I had to flip it over...
That Deluxe is 13 teeth and 2-piece - definitely a nice find!
