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? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Why dip the razor in alcohol at all? Are you protecting you from your self? I think hot water is good enough. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk
So i made a deal for this cracked bulldog. $30 shipped and i may have found a jeweler willing to solder it. I was going to try repair it my self but i dont feel like messing with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
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. 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:
