    Restored Gillette FatBoy is Amazing!

    I've bought vintage razors off of Ebay.. sometimes it works out... sometimes it doesn't. I should have just bought a restored razor from RE and saved time and money. The Fat Boy I purchased from RE was like new and worked flawlessly... gave me an excellent shave. I also bought a Slim and couldn't be happier. I've added these vintage razors are in my rotation.

    Perfect Revamp of 1959 Gillette Fatboy

    I ordered this razor to shave with and use a lot. I have dozens of razors, and many premium modern razors. I have heard so many good things about these vintage Gillette razors that I wanted to own a fatboy adjustable to shave with. I made the right decision buying this from razor emporium. I was stunned how gorgeous this razor is, and it shaves as good as it looks. You are definitely getting what you pay for with the revamps. Razor Emporium does the highest quality of work, it's remarkable really. This was my first razor purchase with razor emporium, and I have now purchased several more revamped razors from them. Keep up the great work Razor Emporium team, your services are really appreciated. I will be doing much more business with you ! I also appreciate your customer service, fantastic team !
