what I'm finding, with these and other old razors, is to truly get the blades really cleaned up you hvae to take out the pivot pin and then repin them later. There's nothing wrong with them as is, the oxidizing can be cleaned up (what I meant by that was just like when you have an old pipe with a vulcanite stem, after it sits for a long while it turns all brownish and nasty on the outside, it can be cleaned up of course). Just figured later they'd look even better with nice handles. and if it ends up the markings on the spines disappear I guess I'll just treat them as 7 seperate razors!

anybody know what the process was to put that kind of frosted wash on blades? anybody know about reproducing it? imagine the whole spine shiny then the center has a frost to it and the day is left in relief, meaning stil shiny just out lined in the frosting.

Thanks guys.
