Result: I love the scales on this razor, yet I fear they are done for. I opened the blade this morning and there was a brown line down the length of the blade and little spots that look like the start of Devil's Spit (cell-rot). I'll be popping the scales off to get it away from the blade tonight. The shave was great, just a bummer to have to toss just a beautiful set of scales...not a big fan of Celluloid for this reason.

I really like this soap, like the MdC soap it has itīs own very distinct scent and itīs an excellent preformer and together with the Tubby it produced tons of lovely lather. My jaw is unbelivable clean, when I rub my hand against it itīs like touching the inside of my palm :)
Iīm sorry, I missed the Freaky Friday theme :( but I saw it to late.
Woo Hoo! Frame Back friday. Un offical of course.

So glad its friday! Have a great day!
After my shave I do the following:
That's why I'm blaming the celluloid as it doesn't look like rust, and it has a random "spray" pattern to it.
- I dry the razor with a towel
- allow it to air dry for about 15 minutes
- Wipe it with a silicone treated gun cloth
- put in razor case and place in climate controlled gun safe
I think I'm going to polish the blade and quarantine it from my others to see what happens.
Thanks
Glenn
Beautiful W&B Jeff. I really like it.
! That is a nice razor. Very lucky.
I couldn't have said it better. Sweet!
Your killing me with that razor. Love the inlay on the handle.
She is a beauty! Thank you.
Bill that is one awesome frame back and its in great shape.
Glenn do you store your razors with oil on the blade? Do you use renaissance wax? Just wondering if that would prevent that from happening.
+1 on that. Sweet razor!
It probably is. I think if you use Renaissance wax it wont happen. Im not sure if the gun cloth has enough oil in it for a blade. Guns are blued which has a bit of protection already with the blueing. I use the wax. Then let dry for an afternoon. Then oil the blade when putting them away in my gun safe. Not temp or humid control
Unfortunately I don't own a frameback, but here's my SOTD anyway:
