    I have had my sights on these since I realized heavy adjustable Gillette razors were perfect for me.
    I didn't think I would own one because price was out my range and they are pretty limited.
    The other day walked in an antique mall because had a little time to kill and there it was. This has been my grail razor ever since I found out it existed. Now....Who can tell how and what to polish gold razors with?

    Congratulations! But, what does this have to do with RAD? I wasn't aware that any progress had been made towards a cure...

    Congrats, but I have to agree with Jerald. I saw the title and just started laughing. *ADs have no cure.

    That's a really fine score you have there. I'm not sure about polishing a gold plate. You might want to be careful with polishes that are abrasive..And no..it's not the end of your RAD my friend..it's only the beginning..lol...

    Maybe, I should change to "Possible end to my RAD". Huh?

    Wow, just wow. Nice find.

    I totally believe your AD is now cured. Just as sure as Bigfoot and Bill Gates (who is actually an alien lizard) caused 9-11, you are cured.

    My friend, you are just "in remission" :p

    Nice score! I love when good things happen unexpectedly. I also wonder about polishing gold. I didn't want to rub the plating off my geezer injector, so it's stayin ugly for now :D

    youngunn Where's my TSD aftershave balm???

    Nice find :)

    Look at Walmart for gold polish near the cleaning stuff, or at an auto zone type store for metal polish that works on gold. Then you can get a gold cloth from Walmart, connoseuir is the brand name.

    Wow, what a find! Congratulations! Right now my holy grail is a Gillette Fat Boy. I want want one, but can't spend right now on a razor. Doesn't matter what condition as long as it shaves. Told my wife to please consider it for my birthday in September. ;)

    Early on I polished off many a gold wash. Do not polish. Just Scrubbin' Bubbles to clean.
