    I just came to pick up a case for my brothers Milord and saw this. Nice patina. In the last pic you can see it looks like the left end tooth may be bent down a hair

    Does the end tooth render it unusable in that it might affect blade gap?

    I think I will get it because I like the way it looks

    Should be fine, don't try to straighten it without annealing it first, I would just leave it. Show the bend to the seller and offer $15.00.

    It'll look real nice when polished, especially the brass/copper head.

    They accepted 15.00 I was mistaken it was actually marked 28.00.
    Can I use Flitz paste on it?

    Thanks for all of your input, guys!

    Yep, flitz it up, use it.
    I've a few that are characterized that way. As long as you love em, who cares if they're not text book pieces.

    I actually prefer this to the original gold. Not a big fan of gold razors in general. I do like the 40s and 50s Milords

    I'm not a fan of plating! It's completely unnecessary on a brass razor, and sooner or later you're gonna have problems with it.

    Here is what I have done so far. I haven't gotten to the teeth yet. Probably save that for tomorrow. This is just Flitz, cotton swabs, and a lint free cotton cloth. 20180519_204523-1.jpg 20180519_204534-1.jpg 20180519_204819-1.jpg 20180519_204834-1.jpg 20180519_204912-1.jpg 20180519_204922-1.jpg
