As I have only done a handful of razor restores so far, I still have lots to learn about. Any tips and suggestions are appreciated.
I am going to try cleaning up without removing the pivot pin. Would toothpaste be safe to use for a light clean between the scales? I want to remove the gunk in there. I am hoping that this will be the way to go without taking it all apart.
If I have to remove the pivot pin for a clean up, it looks like I would have to do a full repin of the razor to keep it all looking the same.
Can the pins be popped without damaging the washers too much? The other problem I see in this event could be the "Goldedge" and "Ducks" insignia being damaged at the wedge end when repinning the razor.
Thanks in advance for any tips, methods etc from our members.
