What's new

f4 fatboy before and after

got a hold of my second fb, my first and only fb was user grade with a bit of brassing, still worked well and shaved great, but was on the lookout for one in better nick, spotted this one and it looked to have a lot of soap scum on it, glad i took the chance on this one, it seems whoever owned it shaved with it a few times, never cleaned it and just left it in a cupboard or something, no brassing, all black on the numbers, after a clean and polish its came up near mint, built like tanks these things. $Picture 011.jpg$Picture 012.jpgand after a clean up.$Picture 008.jpg$Picture 009.jpg$Picture 010.jpg
 
The "crust" may have actually saved you; no rust or tarnish could get through! The one I found had a lot of tarnish and rust; shaves great but not much to look at. Nice job on the cleanup.
 
That's not too bad at all. I had one once that was just encrusted in jet black muck to the point I had to scrape it off with plastic bits I cut up because no brush would do it.
 
Good job! Scrubbing Bubble and MAAS polish?
baking soda in a jug with boiled water poured in,cif bathroom mouse and peek polish, these are the uk versions of scrubbing bubbles and maas, i think the encrusted soap scum does look gross, but it does seem to preserve the razor:biggrin1:, its easy enough to clean off and is better than plate loss, you can sometimes find a real gem under all that gunk, its always worth the gamble if its not to pricey.
