Mine came in - no photos yet. Left it in its box. Does not appear to be as grungy of a cap as others.
Mine's weirdly discolored but cleans up ok. Had a nice shave with the included mystery blade. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
As an aside, the blade in the box seems to be a Gillette Super Stainless dating from 1969-76. Good blade. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I haven't tried it yet, but it looked good. I may wait till I get my plastic Gillette for a full size handle.
The discoloration on mine came right off with some dish soap and a green scrubby. The early pictures and my own first impression made me think it was corrosion. In retrospect, I think it is the remains of either a protective or anti-reflective coating and that the heads are probably WWII military surplus. FWIW, I had a very nice shave this morning with mine. Detailed report is over in the March Focus thread.
So what color is your top cap after cleaning? Kind of a bronze (as is mine) or is that a coating you removed? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Just great. Just a single pass head shave but I think better than with the Simplex cap. I'm getting very close shaves with this guy. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
