A fun project especially if you don't count your labor as anything!

It was a long time ago.
Yes, of course, is different sets. I have long they were restored. And the handles were also different.

Blowing off everyone else's needs to-day and working on my room a bit.
Got my little mug collection all up




Now to get the razors into their respective cases....Need to bend-up some more stands.

Got my TufGlide, Renwax, Maas, Neverdull, mineral oil all out.

Gonna start on the American razors.

Here goes!



I cannot take a pic in this room worth a flip. Need to mess with camera settings!

I got this a while ago and just opened it. It's in amazing condition except this little bit of rust in the middle of the wash. Any hints on removing without damage?

The wash is very delicate so whatever approach you use needs to be done with caution. I know I am probably stating the obvious. I would use some masking as best as possible then try to reduce it slightly with a razor blade and perhaps a blue earaser, again being very gentle and watch progress, following the blue eraser with either a pink or a white one. There is fiberglass pencils too, but I don't have one so cannot speak to that. I would follow my treatment up with some careful polish with a q -tip then pull the mask off and see if it will pass the mark. If it isn't really there repeat. Work like this I often do while wearing an 8X visor.

The gold is already history under the rust so if you were successful in removing the rust you'd end up with a shiny spot instead of a dark one.
As Rez already suggested mask it off & try some brain surgery on it or just put a drop of chemical rust remover on it till neutralised, assuming it's active rust.

A fiberglass pencil will clean it up pretty good, but watch your wash, it may lighten it some.
Just work in small tight circle, and keep checking your wash.

I've rubbed gold wash with Never Dull, and not seen much reaction to it. ( with light pressure ). YMMV

Sharpen a pencil up and work on that rust spot for a bit, going different directions.
You might be surprised what it does for it!

A very tight woven Q-Tip like the small one's for children's ears, dipped in white vinegar. Swirl it around on the spot of rust.

Well, finishing today up with the Sheffields. Going down the Black Velvet road.....



The new display on the right is now home to the 'hardware/barber supply' razors. Figure to gain several spots in the German and a few in the American displays that way.... See what I did!

The other shelves in it (on the right) will be home to my few Swedish, French, and Japanese razors.

That better be ice tea in that glass!
