Gillette Super Speed restore
I found this at the antique shop for $7. She even came complete with a used blade. lol
1) I washed her with dish soap and a trimmed acid brush. (Before image)
2) Ran the ultrasonic cleaner. Used Aqua 2000 solution at 50ºC for 20 minutes. NOTE: This solution is not meant to be used for general "everyday" cleaning. It is meant for a deep clean before sanding and/or polishing.
3) Dried.
4) Polished with red rouge. (After image)
The green waxy stuff on there was caked on the underside. Once through the ultrasonic it turned a brass like color. :( Too much damage before.
But, all in all she came out quite well. Still, not a bad score for $7.
Gillette Super Speed Restore
Gentlemen,
That is a fine restoration. I have come across a number of these old Gillettes that seem to have been dug up from the bottom of a swamp. Yet they clean up nicely, and always seem to work properly. There is something to be said about original quality. An excellent find.
Regards,
Obie
