Ok...I originally posted this in a manner that was against the TOS. Sorry about that...I hope this version is acceptable!
So I've been looking at a few vintage razors and pretty much settled on the fact that I'd like to pick up a Fatboy, and two in particular that have caught my eye. I thought I'd reach out to you folks to get your thoughts on which might be the one that I should pursue. Let it be said that they're both in great condition and I would expect pay a similar amount for either one.
Choice #1:
This one looks like a natural beauty. Some signs of light use, but overall looks pretty darn mint to me. Not sure if the handle looks just a tad dull, or if it's just the lighting. It's a 1960.

Choice #2:
This one I think looks even better, but here's the catch. It's shinier than any Fatboy I've ever seen. Even ones that were touted as being unused. So...it makes me wonder if perhaps it's been replated. To me, even if that were the case I'm not sure if that's necessarily a bad thing. This is a 1958.

So anyway, I'd really enjoy hearing as much feedback as possible from everyone. FYI, the fact that one comes with a case and one doesn't really isn't that big of a factor to me. I'd simply like to know which razor you'd prefer to own, everything else being equal. Thanks in advance!
