Thread: Najeeb Malluk first Vintage Razor

Just got this guy the other day. Not sure it can be polished without removing the etching but I can live with that if not. I’m stoked on it being my first Vintage razor. Any thoughts?

Nice. I have a Najeeb Malluk, "The Dewey Razor." It is an excellent shaver.

It looks like that etching is very salvageable. NO SANDING on that though. You'll lose it forever if you do.

That’s cool you have a Najeeb too! I’ll have to check that out! So you think I could get away with just a light polish on the etched side, I think I read I could use some Maas I believe it was maybe?

Polish is fine. If it is shave ready keep polish off the bevels and edge as it will kill an edge. Nice razor btw. I dont have that name in my collection. Looks like a 13/16 or 7/8 to me.

Thanks for the advice, the edge is in good shape so I’ll protect it forsure. I think it’s a 6/8, it doesn’t seem much bigger then my Dovo’s that are 5/8 but I could be wrong.

Nice. Should be a good shaver. The pics look like there is some chipping towards the heel? Might just be my screen though.
