I think it still has a blade loaded in it ... It's shave ready! I think it's calling my name ... Oh sorry that's a death rattle.
1. Boiling vinegar soak. That should dissolve most of the scale, followed by the brass brush. If not, 2. CLR soak(s) and brass brushing. Then, if functional, a run through the dishwasher followed by a penetrating oil soak. If not functional, tear down and clean it out. If it's been underwater for a long time it's possible the smaller parts like the detente spring (i think it's called) could have corroded away. Then again, maybe not! Even if it fails I'd have a blast trying to restore that thing to working order, but then I'm weird about lost causes.
Yep. But when you beat the odds and succeed, whatta feeling it is. Can't afford bidding on anything now, tho. Oh well.
Hey that's the fatboy razor I buried in my old yard when I was five, oh so many years ago. Nice to see someone else will have a chance to use it. Now if they happen to find the executive I buried too.......
Did you see the Q&A Q: Wow, that is hectic! I bet captain Murphy on Badger and Blade would be able to fix it though. A: It can be yours !!! If Captain Murphy saw that he'd say "Nooooooo!"
Perfectly sanitizable. And assuming plating loss (likely a safe bet) raw brass allegedly has antimicrobial properties.
Funny if a follow member purchases it a restores it. It looks worst than the KATRINA RAZOR and Rusty boy from BB.
Not me. I've done plenty of those. I know when too much corrosion is too much, unless you want to Cerakote it. But I would definitely like to see another member restore it.
True. At $5, it would have been worth the challenge. At over $30,including the shipping, it seems that someone just wanted to win. However, to each their own. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
