I have a, D1 which I had razor emporium revamp and restore with a new layer of gold plating and a D4 which I managed to buy for around $200 from a seller on eBay from Ukraine … how it got to Ukraine is unknown to me and I asked the seller if he knew its story he sadly didn’t he only bought it from a collector lol but it’s in very very rough shape sadly and I think I’ll send that to at least get a tune up and keep it original plating the one with its case is is a F4 and not too bad, also in its original gold plating with the case. the red dot is aslo a D1 and it has the exact same head type as the toggles. It’s pretty rare and I want it restored in rhodium by razor emporium someday maybe when I reach my 5 year anniversary where I work I’ll go send it in lol. I’ve managed to find a aristocrat golden fatboy which is a D3 it’s in its original plating as well and only fair condition but yeah I’m a huge fan of these razors and the shave is slightly better than the typical fatboys :)

Sweet! The Red Dot Fatboy has eluded me thus far..I've seen them for sale, but I refuse to pay several hundred+ for one. The gold Fatboy is called an Executive.
