Couple razors a customer gave me
Need some cleaning but had a customer give me these two razors today. Both are very salvageable but coated in 50 year old packing grease looks like lol

That old packing grease is terrible stuff. I have perfected a technique for removing it, the really old stuff is very hard to get rid of. Ship them to me and I'll be sure to take care of that for you. No charge for you either. Special deal.

Once got an Enfield 308 for eighty bucks. It also was covered in grease. Well worth the work!

I used oven cleaner if I recall correctly. It was a great rifle, but just super heavy.
