Three piece razors don't have that problem.
Yep, a COMPLETE teardown and prepare yourself to see some gross gunk!!
See Youtube vids.
I've been enjoying this hobby for about 8 years now, and I only recently got around to getting a few adjustables.
I don't think I will be getting any more!
Soda bicarb and vinegar will froth up and clean out the exterior pretty well for getting into the inside that explosiveness might work out. I can't quite remember whether the Fat Boy has an open handle, but if it does maybe pack some bicarb in there and pour in the vinegar. Hold the end closed and see if you can get the frothing to some out elsewhere.
Other than that, an ultrasonic bath is probably your next best bet.
I tried cleaning it in an ultrasonic bath and no luck; the dial is still stuck!
Clearly this is above my pay grade, so I will list it for sale.
If it is your only Fatboy, consider sending it off to JJShaves...you'll get back a razor that works as it should with gaps and tolerance back to factory spec, for a reasonable cost. Even if you find one that looks great and works, after this amount of time it will have been bashed and knocked out of whack. No matter how long they have been soaked, boiled or stuck in an ultrasonic bath, the shite that comes out from the inside of them when they are stripped down, would scunner, even the most hardy.
...thats a shame...it has been a while since I sent off a razor to him, maybe worth giving hime a shout?JJ Shaves no longer works on safety razors, only straights AFAIK.
