Would rubbing alcohol remove the gold leaf? What's the best way to preserve that?

I love my TI
I just have 4 of the red stamina and thought I could spread the wealth. I shave with one every day.

These razors are factory plus several honings by me. I can send you my best one but it is also my dullest since I have left it alone. You can hone it or I can. Just send me your address and I will tell you what shipping is. Than you can paypal me. And off the razor goes. you can see one in my gallery.

Thanked: 324I'm going to have to get a TI one of these days, too
Might as well. I've got more razors than I have places to keep them, so why not add one more to the list.
I like wood handles and properly treated wood will make a razor that can be passed down to several generations. I treat wood with stabilizers and make replacement handles with various woods and strongly prefer them to synthetics.
Here's a W&B I rehandled last night and shaved with this morning; super shave, too!

Thanked: 324Thans, Rich!
I love restoring the old classics and do whatever it takes from making custom scales for them to regrinding when necessary. I've got a bloodwood, Ebony and abalone layout in mind for the next big project to rehandle a beautiful W&B frameback that I had to do a LOT of work on. It had severe pitting but had enough steel in the blade to rework it to a mirror polish. It should look pretty nice when it's finished.
Right now I'm finishing up some walnut scales that I've polished to a high gloss to refit a very unusual W&B that has a really super blade. I expect it will be an oustanding shaver.
