YMMV!!

The larger size can of the tube style cream is mentioned below.
I bought a can of it, 1.1 lbs. Does not separate in the can, but for some reason as I put it in a plastic squeeze bottle for easier use, it will separate over time. Flipping and tapping the bottle on my palm gets it mixed again.
I had used a tube up and decided to buy the can as I use it for lots of things other than razors.
Seems to work the same to me, however! :)
I like it...!!Quote:

Gasoline spill at the airport.
Having drying troubles with the try oil on the scales for the Garantie, so I stripped them and went with the Minwax polycrylic. First coat is dry, and about to give it another .

Then to my next project. A Wosty Conqueror, that was gifted to me by AlanQ. This is another of his Grandfathers razors. I've been able to clear the rust from the gold etch thus far, using a fiberglass pencil. So I figure I should post some pics of it before I proceed any further.

Looks to be gramps, left a bit of lather between the scales the last time he used it. [emoji1]
A successful seperation.
All parts saved.
Ready for thorough cleaning.
Attachment 234911
What are those scales made of?
Old hard-rubber and Bakelite will polish up fine all by it'self.
The Maas did the trick quite well on the dis colored tang
Attachment 234913
Lost a little detail at the number, but I can live with that.
Attachment 234914
All done with just a rag and Maas. Need to find some of that up here. Rag turned brown as I rubbed so I knew it was working. Took maybe 20 minutes of med than light pressure.
Thanks for the tip Tom.

Cool! No worries, Mike!
I seem to have a 1.1 pound can, mostly full! :)

2nd workshop, your own oysters?Quote:

After you get the humidity right you'll have smooth sailing. Mia taki's are also a great mushroom to grow at home. You'll be a fungi in no time!!!

Scales are polished for the Garantie. God... I'm really starting to like this minwax, polycrylic finish. Its soooo much faster than tru-oil.
Attachment 234972
Three coats starting last night, sanded with 600 grit W/D paper, and polished by hand using CA polish by stick fast.

You tell em, Oz! Besides, not EVERYONE has some 101 Wild Turkey! :DQuote:

Well that's that...
Only thing left is to clean up the hardware tomorrow, and get these two back together, and honed. A little flitz, and some rubbing, made short order of the scales.Attachment 234976
Looking forward to the results.Quote:
