@Northstonehill Peter, great get from a fellow member, that had to be tough for them to give up!
You mentioned our friend Chris at razorplate....and oddly enough, my E3 fatboy was returned from his shop today. I just can't imagine sending a razor to anyone else (obviously Cap is included in there )
So, some before and after pictures, because its the only way to see how much effort, and the outcome (and the shear quality of it):
BEFORE (note the extreme brass rot that was uncovered after I cleaned it up, pitting was not pretty...and the tray was actually sharp from the brass rot):

AFTER (note, you can't even tell there was that severe of brass rot/pitting. I'm left speechless by Chris' work)

Will be shaving with it today, and it only has to be half as good as it looks, and I'll be happy with the shave. Standards and all....
also of note, no loss to the definition and feel of the knurling, etc on the handle, tto knob, or adjustment knob.
Wow, Mike, just plain awesome!! - Yes, that is Chris’ and Cap’s work, among many things the fact that they make sure to maintain the knurling. Your specimen is out of this world!!! Enjoy your fine Fatboy!
