Ugliest Razor

I really hope, that if it is one of us here, that he/she would share what they will be doing with it. I've spent money just to prove it could be done. I bought a mission style rocking chair that should have been burned only to have people later say "wow that is a beautiful chair". I, as well thought that crusty razor had potential; just couldn't (heart was willing, but the pockets were weak).

So step up and show us that Fat Boy; I'm really interested.

 

Ok, time to confess, how many of you guys put a bid on that thing??
I didn't.

 

I thought about it, but no I didn't. It got too high. for $10 or $15 maybe.

 

That would have been my limit too. It would have been a toss up to either leave as is, or try to restore.

 

Not in any way shape or form.

 

But you'd still watch someone else restore it. I enjoy learning for others (save me money).

 

Nope. It would be cool to try a restore at $10 or less, just to see if it could be done.

I would have given $5 for it. No more.

 

I dunno...if the buyer lucks out and restores it to working order, even with the cosmetic flaws it's bound to have it'd be a hit on ebay again when he shows before/after pics and can provide documentation that this is indeed the restored Razor from the Black Lagoon. He'd more than get his money back for it because at that point it'd be a true curiosity that lots of people are likely to want. IF it ends up fixed.

 

IF...

 

That razor is a monstrosity! loll

 

I'd probably have put up to $15 on it. I like a challenge, and that looks like it would explode in the ultrasonic cleaner, much like the Cruddy Micromatic I did a month or two ago. If any of you guys find those kind of cruddy razors, I'm interested

 

Picture of it please.

Thank you

 

A rust removal will do the job and also drop that razor in warm water for a day or two to slacken that dirt. It will get back to nice look, but not as it has to be, though give a try if you want to buy!!! btw what's the brand name?

 

The original post was of a Gillette Fatboy that was probably dug up out of the clay.

 

Somebody on another forum posted a link to the original auction. Apparently, the seller found it while diving!

 

Man, those fishermen sometimes won't leave the boat for anything, will they?

 

And loose their Fatboy ... never!
