I'm no expert when it comes to plating losses and brassing and rust etc.maybe someone else could tell me if these brown stains in the last picture will come off it?
I was looking at this razor but i don't know?

Yes It Looks Like They Should~~ Scrubbing Bubbles & A Toothbrush~~ And Then Some Metal Polish, And You Should Be Good
Good Luck...

I would say that those brown spots are where the brass is showing and the plating came off. Take a look at these before and after pictures of a Gillette Slim that I cleaned up. There are a lot of brown spots on that Slim where the plating came off.
+1 I agree, it's just cosmetic.
I meant to add, "No, those brown spots will not come off."
Usually, brown spots in that area are from a blade that rusted after being left in the razor, and will come off with some polish, though it is possible that there is some plating loss as well. The razor itself will not rust.
A good cleaning and it's as good as new... a very nice razor by the way.
Rust in the blade tray always comes off - there may be brassing underneath though. The paint on your fatboy looks very nice, so don't soak this razor in anything harsher then warm, soapy water. After a 10 minute soak, the rust and scum come off easily with a tooth brush.

Nice Fatboy! Yes, I think it will clean up just fine.

looks like just soap scum. easy clean up. i soak (30min - overnight) the razor in mild dish washing soap and hot water to loosen up the built on scum. give it a good rinse and use old soft toothbrush with bon ami, then spray with scrubbing bubbles and let that work its magic for 10min. rinse and then hit it up with a toothpaste and the brush. i also use mothers mag and aluminum polish and a dremel at low speed to buff out the razor head and give it some shine. dremel polish wheels dont like the knurling though. 
Get it clean it up and take a pic to let us see the after cleaning reveal. 
Grab yourself a small bottle of "Bar Keepers Friend". The liquid kind, not the powder. It does absolute wonders on all sorts of metal. Use an old toothbrush with it and bingo, the thing will look brand new.
