1959 E2 Gillette Fatboy Disassembly.wmv 

Thanks for posting this.. No more mystery. Well done!!

Thanks for the help. My E2 came apart OK, but I doubt these razors could withstand multiple cycles of being taken apart and assembled given the amount of force required to get the parts back together. I wouldn't do this again unless my razor internals were seriously gunked up or I was preparing the razor for plating. I'll stick to ultrasonic cleaning in the future.

Thank you very much for your video David, really helpful!

Great music too, good video, very helpful.

Thanks for the comments. It is easy.

Hi David, my fat boy 1959 has a c clamp on the rod, just after the threads, so I can't disassemble it with out a special tool to remove it and put it in place again :-( Nice video man. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Norway

@Jooky1 - I will have another video on how to reassemble after I get this replated. @neo71665 - The 1960 and newer use a crimp-style retention system. The first step is different, but the rest are the same. Use a .223 shell casing (or something close in hollow diameter) and a hammer to drive the crimp into the body of the handle. The crimp will come loose and you'll be at step two.

Double on that black beauty question... (Super Adjustable) thank you!

I should have your comment before trying on mine. I got stuck on step 4, it was impossible to remove the head.

Sorry, I should have made it clearer to use a screwdriver that was large enough to not destroy the threads. Thanks for the info.

Deadbuck73 neonknight6 I haven't disassembled the Super Adjustable, just a deep cleaning with an ultrasonic cleaner. panchoskywalker Make sure the knob is dialed all the way out and the head should pull out. @Neil Hawkins That's right. Reassembly is the opposite of disassembly. I was going to get this plated before reassembling, but never got around to it. Peter Cole If you have money for that...feel free. It's not hard.

THANKS

You need to make sure that the twist knob is unscrewed all the way out.

Где взять красную пластину? При разборке улетела(((

Hi David, I have a Gillette Super Adjustable (made in the 1970s) which does not bend the blade in the lower positions (1-2-etc..). Have you ever disassembled that type? Does it have the same mechanics inside?

Do you have a video for the slim( l2 is the one I have)?

Great video! Do you have a second video showing how to put it all back together? That would really be helpful as well.
