Question's concening 'cell rot'
I'm sure like a lot of you, I have a few razors that have that so-called dreaded 'cell rot'. I took one apart today, the blade just had one dark stained spot, so I tried sanding it, and using a dremel with maas's polish it lightened up a little. The celluloid scales were red, but have turned brownish with some faded spots, and the faded spots are right where they 'gassed' the blemish onto the blade.
Here's are the questions:
1. Are the scales a loss cause, now that they've gassed and gotten spotty? Or can celluloid be polished clean, and re-dyed?
2. Will a buffer take that stain off the blade?
Thanks
Aaron
P.S. the razor is a Kings Liberty Bell, made in Indiana, PA.
My pic's aren't the best but I agree with the consensus so far, ditch the scales, try to save the blade...
