Gillette Chippendale box restore
Attachment 97038I looked at this for a long time before finally forking over the $12 for it.
My son has been kicking aroAttachment 97040und the idea of using a DE so I decided he could have my Edwin Jager if I can make this work. I'm feeling OK about the progress I'm making on the razor. Everything is solid brass, so I won't polish the plating off of it.
The bottom looked pretty much like thAttachment 97041e top, and as you can see it polished up fairly well.
Shine is fine, but the patina is kAttachment 97039ind of kewl too. Besides the rust is so deep that I'm afraid I would make holes in the box trying to get it all out. I'm wondering if I should start polishing from the diagonal corner, and let it fade into the patina across the top and sides. Put a couple of coats of museum wax over the whole thing, patina and all, and shave away.
Thoughts, ideas, instructions?
Thanks,
Ive
