Wonderful, as expected by Chris at BRG. I had two Fat Handle Techs replated in the original factory Nickel by him.
Got my 59 Fatboy back today

You won't regret it. It was back in my hand in about a week..
Beautiful! I just sent Chris my Fatboy and a '36 Aristocrat. The Fatboy will be replated in nickel, and the Aristocrat in gold. They were delivered to him yesterday. I can't wait to get them back. I'm thinking that I should have sent him my New LC as well.
I sent my 1941 Ranger to him last Friday to get replated. I can't wait to get it back. he does fantastic work.
Here are mine.
Beautiful work on your Fatboy. And the additional pictures of work recently done by BRG show the quality of work done.
Singing to the choir here, just had 3 Fatboys replated by Chris at Back Roads (two 1959s and a 1960, the '60 he did in Gold) and the are fantastic. Going to shave with one of them and use the other as a mirror. The gold is stunning and my wife has her eye on it. Pleasure to do business with Chris.
Beautiful work!
Amazing!
You gents have some absolutely beautiful razors

I couldn't agree with Dave more! And I just bought a 1959 Gillette Fatboy razor from the BST. Any advice? I've heard that to adjust the blade aggression, one must have the doors in the open position, is this true?
No.
But if you want to do it that way it's your machine.
Matt of Razor Emporium claims that it is not nessary, but it is easier on the mechanism to adjust the aggression before tightening down the doors.
Part of their business is restoring fatboys, so he may know.

Thanks guys! Just trying to get an education on it, so I don't screw it up. I don't want to have to send it in to get fixed if its not necessary. This is just how I am with everything I buy, I like to get educated on a product before using it. And since the razor isn't brand new, its not like I get a manual with it lol. So, I am learning all I can here.
Oooooo, I really love that
Thank you so very much!!! This is a keeper for sure! I can't wait till I'm part of the Gillette Fatboy club. This is fun!!!!!!!
