    1962 H2 adjustable Gillette
    Half cleaned up. It was filthy, soapy, tarnished and covered in rust deposits.

    For what it's worth, I was made in 1962 and don't look nearly as good as that razor does. I've got some dings and rust spots myself, just sayin. But seriously congrats on a great day, those should keep you out of trouble for a while.

    Upon further inspection, there is some warping here and there. Need to try and straighten it out. One door doesn't close flush, and one of the guard bars is a bit skewed. Probably the over critical machinist in me. You can see it in the top picture.
