Thanked: 4My latest (& most unusual to me) find
It was advertised as a Loeffler Sykes "Salesman sample". It has the original box...$3...LOL!
Anyone ever heard of it?
I do know it has a "singing" blade.
I've attached some before & after pics. I had to clean it up a little...first try at that.

Thanked: 4Well, TBH, I don't know what a "singer" is, but I do know it has a tone none of my other razors do.
The pics were taken with my phone, so excuse the quality.

Thanked: 4Probably not the way I should've...LOL!
I got a Dremel w/a large (doesn't come with the kit) cotton buffing wheel.
I have 3 tubes of rouge (?)...black, red & white. Used a separate wheel for each. Buffed with a soft cloth after each.
Oh yeah...don't forget protection...& I ain't talking prophylactics!

My bathroom cabinet's got a space that's just the right shape and size for that brush.

Thanked: 2591Singer means singing blade.
When you strop it you should be able to hear light ringing sound, that is what singing blade means.Stefan
