That one might be a handful to get back together ,, as much rust as I,m seeing , I hope the mechanism of it work,, Good luck ,, I shaved with one for over 40 years till I got into straights , still take it out once in a while Put a feather blade on the 9 settings. Pretty close shave. Tc

Do you do that while standing in lava too!?!? Sounds dangerous!

Same as Tc, Fat Boy/Feather set @ 9 for a very close shave. Just need a light touch and watch your Ps&Qs.

I'm pretty sure it's built up soap scum. The dark colors are on the low spots on the knurling and the nickel plating looks OK on the high spots. But you never really know with ebay. If it doesn't come out well I'm only out ten bucks. Originally Posted by tcrideshd

Hot water soak, scrubbing bubbles, scrub brush with MASS, polisher with rouge, final scrub with dish soap and repaint numbers & stripe. Came out nice!

Just me, but this sounds like something you might hear in San Quentin.

The beauty of your restore is that it will be available for another 60 years! Originally Posted by BeJay
