    Thank you for the suggestions. I'll toss it in the tumbler with ground walnut hulls. I'll post again afterwards.
    The Geneva was a steal and is in great shape. I think it will be a great shaver.

    I often let them ride in the tumbler for days. Three is pretty common. It is very slow at cleaning but it is quite gentle and leave a nice glow. Plus you do nothing to participate.

    2 cornerstone gift sets. Cartridge razors pitting against gillette. Razors are poop for me, not bad razors they just dont do what i want, but the wife likes them and I thought I'd give their lotions and potions a go.

    Thanks a lot!! If it wasn't for this place, and the awesome enablers here, my collection would be so small and uninteresting

    After 8 hours in the tumbler, it's looking much better. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Let in run longer and it just get to be more clean. Another day should have it pretty sweet.

    The hone wear has taken off the top of the riders head, but I still like the design.
    I'd blue the design, put it in a shadow box, and tell the grandson, "he didn't ware a helmet"

    Are you able to compare it against a Rancillio Silvia? Is it better, worse, same quality build and espresso output for less money? What would the comparable US model be? I can't find sunbeam in the US.

    Is an Australian brand. Similar may be the Breville dual boilers. It is I suppose entry level. You can get great tasting coffee easily from it. Then again from that point for the extra money is significant diminishing returns. I manage to get better coffee than I can buy most places so is good enough for the limited use it gets since I am the only coffee drinker in the house. That and if I take any more bench space in the kitchen my wife will throw it out
