Thread: Celluloid polishing

I have nothing but vintage razors in my collection, maybe my scales aren't that dirty and dull yet. When I buy a razor, unless it's from a trusted seller, I spray computer electronic cleaner into the scales. The stuff that you buy in electronic stores, has a nozzle with a brush at the tip. This is safe on most plastics and doesn't seem to harm the scales. It blows the dust and gunk out of the pins and corners. I rub a thin coat of machine oil and buff my scales to a good shine. I just barely started str8t shaving back in Feb. so my scales may not have seen as much use as some of the other member's but then I don't know the history of my razors either.
