    I travel quite a bit and just got home again.

    When I travel I normally use my Merkur DE I originally started wet shaving with and shove it in a cut open pill bottle since it doesn't break down well.

    So I stumble across this cool kit with a couple extra razors for next to nothing.

    I plan to try and salvage the kit to carry in my shave bag.

    What is the best way to clean this stuff up?

    The top is quite pitted on the kit one...

    Start with a plastic container(disposable), bottom section milk jug, 2 liter soda bottle cut down,,,, all metal pieces into the container,,,, soak down with Scrubbing Bubbles,,, let sit 10 minutes,,,,, rinse off,,,, tooth brush with liquid dish soap scrub,,,, rinse,,, tooth brush scrub with Colgate,,, rinse and reassess the situation.

    followup can include dipping the heads in CLR for 5 minutes , if there are calcium deposits still visible. If they are not brass, then a 15 second dip in this;

    Rinse in cold water immediately after dip & reassess.

    That one is pat. Canada 1932 made in Canada. It looks like finish on the part that touches the face is bubbling up.
