So I finally received my Fatboy which took 2 weeks to reach my office in Oakleigh East from Mill Park. It's not in the best of shape, and the adjustment dial is stuck fast. It literally won't budge, not even a little give. The doors do open and shut fine.
I didnt have much time so i gave it quick soak in soapy hot water. I'm hoping its just hardened gunk and not a fully rusted/seized thread or mechanism. It does look pretty bad as you can see from the photo. When I get home it's going to spend a lot of time in my little ultrasonic cleaner. I read on one forum someone had it soaking for weeks (!). Has anyone tried WD-40 on it? Or not recommended?
I messaged the seller but I don't think it's worth returning it as she didnt know anything about razors and it'd just be someone else's problem. Hopefully I can get a partial refund or something.
Wish me luck!
