first bag from my dads shed.
hey as somewhere interested in the pieces given to me by my father, here are photos of the first bag of razors and blades it doesn't make much of a dent on the case he gave me lol.
except for the first one that i posted last time they are all used and some in a bit of a state could do with some tlc but i don't know the best way to bring them back to their glory.

Well, you have quite the start on a collection. The Valet auto strop is an interesting piece look up a video for them, same with the Rolls razor. Rolls went on to making washing machines in the late 40's early 50's IIRC. A bit more profit than razors. Looks like the strop for your rolls has seen better days. Word of warning, put it back together carefully if assembled wrong that is how the stone gets broke on most of those.

It looks good for the most part. the straight razor are quite easy to clean with mothers mag polish and any of them the have active rust you can add 0000 steel wool to the process and get them surprisingly clean.

thanks for the advice
I Think the rolls razor is beyond hope the handle is missing and the gear/runners are jammed and bent it would probably be best as a donor for the stone and blade for a example in better condition.

That's about the only way to make a complete one is buying the sets and making whole. Check in the track on both sides, I have seen the handles crammed in there too. Either way you are have alot of fun projects to keep you busy Originally Posted by bdragon122
