Thread: What are you working on?

Soaking a adjustable Slim in some CLR.

Holy cow, pretty happy with the way this came out. I know the title of this thread is, what are you working on, but I really didn't do much work. Soaked this in a 1:1 CLR and Water bath for 4 hours. Then I put it straight into the dishwasher on normal cycle with high temp scrub. Came out gleaming! probably hit this with some mtal polish yet, but I doubt it will take much.

It sure was gross looking when I started...

Nice clean up

Date code is G 4 whuch I think puts it at 1961??? I think. I have another, I need to dig up and compare date codes. Think this one is earlier made, and in better condition too.

Just like the ones mom & dad had. Couldn't find them after they passed away. Think pops threw his away, but mom still had hers somewhere. She used it to shave the calluses off her feet.

I remember my grandfather using a DE, but not my Dad. Dad used soap and a brush but it was always a disposable. That was in the 80's.

Well I was born in 68, so I done seen sum of dim dare 70s shavers. That's all they had

Damn fine year to be born in, of course I may be a little biased

Cleaned up very well Andrew. Nice find. Still looking for an adjustable DE for my collection.
Ideally a 65 for birth year bragging rights..

Hopefully this floor will be done today, aside from grout. So after some rest I am back to blade work..
Cheers.

Looks like you tossed some faucet heads in for good measure, Andrew! CLR is some great stuff.

I am a 59 model, but I remember LOTS of Schick injectors from my youth. I suppose they were the 'newest thing, back in the early 60's.

Hope you can get that finished soon, Mike. My laundry room rebuild is a never-ending task, I think.
Every time I start something like this, it takes a month of weekends and goes WAY over budget!
