I've already got more Techs than I know what to do with. Might be interested in a different handle or baseplate though, but I guess they'll be using the 'diamond' one.
Ha, ha, ha...NO. I'm not opposed to the idea of re-creating vintage razor designs, but we all know it won't be nickel plated brass. If they wanted to get people excited, they should have released (or announced a plan to release) a stainless steel Fatboy. As it is, someone will probably beat them to to it, as long as the humble tech has taken to get off the ground.The first in the 'retro-razor reintroduction' is now being advertised in AoS stores
Price: Approx $70 / £48
Material: Unknown
Plating: Unknown
Availability: Sept, 2016
Will you be getting one?

How so?
They said they are. Big difference...and even if or when they do, do you expect it to match or exceed the quality of the original Fatboy?They are. That is mentioned over at B&B in the marathon thread.

Oh, I agree with you, but I think that the corporate bean counters at Procter & Gamble will go for the lowest cost option over the highest quality one.Why not? It is, perhaps, too early to tell what they'll do, but machining technology and tolerances are better today then they were then, and alloys are better and longer lasting. It depends on what they decide to go with, but yes, if they wanted to, a Fatboy made today can be made to much better standards than what was made originally, both in machining and materials.

But, suppose they did make one, improved, in stainless steel, would you buy it?
...As an aside, does anyone think the reissues will devalue the vintage market?...
