    Nice! A Fat Boy and a Gem Micromatic Open-Comb!! Two great razors, each with its own personality and following.

    Some find the MMOC to be on the aggressive side, but once mastered it is a very efficient performer! Gillette adjustables are also well-regarded and everybody should own at least one!!

    These look to be in good shape and with dish soap, hot water, toothbrush, and elbow grease should clean up nicely!

    Congratulations and welcome to B&B!

    An open-comb Micromatic and Fatboy -- very nice! All that rust should come right off the OCMM. It'll be from an old blade that was left in there, not the razor itself.

    Wow, great find. Cleaned up really nice too. Even nicer that they have family history.

    They just got a bit of Scrubbing Bubbles, some soap and hot water and a tooth brush. I hit the top of the MM with some Mother's polish. Not too much of a problem. I think he will be very happy with them. The Fat Boy might need a little work, we'll give it another look soon.
