Hello all. I picked up one of the Segal razors...

the razor was an extremely good deal... The top cap wound up with some corrosion that wound up eating through one spot but I have been able to patch that and it seems to be holding up pretty well... Anyone else have one of these razors??
Nice. Would be good to see a few pics of it cleaned up.:)
I will post a few pics soon. I still need to consider replating it but don't know right yet if aI am gonna do it right now. It has been clear coated right now and works I guess ( I haven't used it yet , but looks solid enough ) but it is def a user grade "restore" right now ( the "patch " material is showing...)...
Sorry some , or most are blurry , but this is what it currently looks like before any other stuff is done to it....

I'm thinking I may have put this is the wrong place... Should it have been in the Custom builts and restorations thread ?? If it should have been somewhere else could a mod Please move it to the right place...
It's in the right place.
Gasman posted about restoring nickel plating, or more accurately re-plating, a while back. I believe it was in the "what are you working on," thread. You might look at that because the results he got were fabulous.
I had a Segal. IIRC, it uses special blades. Very close to regular Gillette type blades.
Seems I trimmed a blade here or there and it worked fine. You should be able to see the difference.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it a lot...Quote:
