Oh, you'll have a fatboy to put in there before too long.
Resistance is futile.

Sorry for bumping this up again buuuut, OMG just got done shaving with this razor and it was amazing. The closeness, the maneuverability and just the feel of the shave was oh so good. I think I may have found my new favorite razor.
Question though, I did an ok job of cleaning this guy but there is still some gunk on the bottem plate and on the knurling of the handle, what is the best way to clean a gold razor? I'm not too worried about taking off the gold plating as it has been well used and much of it is missing.

leave it soak in scrubbing bubbles; you may have to repeat the soak several times; use a soft toothbrush to try and remove the gunk after the soak.

Scrubbing bubbles is safe for gold plated razors?
I apologize for my noob questions.
yes it is, and never apologize for asking questions; one only has to apologize for stupid answers.
Nice find, both on the razor and the case.
There are far more Fatboys about than Fatboy cases. If you ever get on of those razors, it'll have a sweet home. If you wanted, I bet you could get some pretty nice stuff in a BST swap for it.
The Fat Handle Tech is a fine razor. I like the feel of that particular handle, and the shave is great. It's praised by some pretty knowledgeable posters here.
Congrats!

Awesome! Thanks for the help.
I wouldn't even know what that case would be worth? And I may get a fatboy still, they're just kinda expensive for a poor college student. And with my RAD getting worse by the day I need to start looking for better deals.
I agree with everything you said about the razor, to me it just feels right ya know?
I can't put a dollar amount on the case, but I bet if you put it on the BST and offered to swap it for a nice DE razor or two you'd get plenty of offers.

Trust me, fat boys are not that rare, but the cases are. Just hang onto the case for a while, you will either find a razor for it, or get a good trade for it.
I also have a fat handled tech which looks almost exactly like yours. I recommend using a Feather, or other aggressive blade, as the razor itself is rather gentle.
Good score, keep checking those antique stores.

Getting RAD much?
But seriously, I wouldn't worry too much about matching razor to box for your everyday shaver (unless it's cheap)--it's not like you're keeping it in collectible condition anyhow. That said, a NEW would certainly be a good shaver, too.
