Thanked: 16Cleaned 'em up, trying to guess...
Well, I took the good advice that is offered on this forum and cleaned the razors with Scrubbing Bubbles and a toothbrush.
It got 99% of the green gunk off of the 3 piece one, and the TTO looks like NEW! Although I did miss a few spots on the TTO, that's not going to take too much to clean up.
The 3 Piece looks a little duller, probably due to the patina being taken off, but it looks a lot better with the stuff being taken out of the knurling. I have a scuba diving buddy that teaches watchmaking in the jewelry department at the local Jr. College, and I might take it to him and see what he can do with the finish.
I'm still trying to guess the era of manufacture on the 3 piece; from what little I could find out I'm thinking it was made in about the 1920s maybe?
I used the 3 piece this morning...I have been using a cartridge razor for so long that I had forgotten how good a shave you could get with a regular DE. There is NOT a choice on DE blades in this town; just the generic no-name on the dispenser and the store name on the package. Need to find some blades...guess I'll have to go to a bigger town to shop.
Oh, and I have one of my str8s off to Lynn to be honed cuz it was pulling a bit...should get it back next week.
Guess I'll have to suffer with the full hollow ground one I also have that goes "ding" sometimes.
That one shaves GREAT!!!
