    One thing I've done is after what is filled in with paint, I use a clear hobby paint made by Microscale. It's a very tough clear finish which I use after touching up paint on brush handle letters, numbers on adjustable razors, etc.

    Ive been eye balling this damn thing for some time now and i kept making offers and seller wouldnt budge.... finally they relisted it and lowered the price and the price of shipping. I jumped in but still more than i wanted to pay, but it fascinated me so i bid and won. Now to figure out what to put in it.... something fougere?

    Why dip the razor in alcohol at all? Are you protecting you from your self? I think hot water is good enough.

    I saw this interesting yellow acrylic brush and I turned out to be the only bidder.

    Alcohol displaces and dries out any water left in razors.

    I swish my razors in alcohol to keep soap scum from building up. I share your disappointment in the manufacturer using paint that's alcohol soluble. :signs002:

    Really nice razor though!

    I've got a thing for trying out vintage shaving creams, sticks and powders. I have some over 100-year-old Colgate's Rapid-Shave Powder that still works like a charm. So today, I purchased and now waiting on one of these 1980s 4.5 ounces Gillette Lather shave cream. $12 shipped. Usually pay that or more for half the size Tabac and Palmolive creams I normally buy. Contains coconut oil (aka palm oil) and peanut oil, the peanut oil part I found intriguing. These are the eBay listing photos:

    I like getting mismatched sets. most people don't bid on them and can be had pretty cheap.
