Wow, that cleaned up really, really well! "Kindal" is also a nice tie-in to your past experiences with Scandinavian Goddesses. Link. "Kindal a girl that likes to party and have a good time even though she is not the greatest beer pong partner...she enjoys hunting for squirrel and can easily pull an all-nighter if needed"
Yeah, I used Autosolve Aluminium Polish.....Its a good polish for alloys, but I only use it with heavy plated razors as a one off first clean as its a really efficient cutting paste.....I finished it off with Toothpaste..... I enjoyed being a Kindal Girls Squirrel.... Billy
Got a few razors in a lot the other day. The cleaned up nice. I believe the Krona is NOS. Super Speed TV Special and 1948-50 Aristocrat. So does anyone have the clam shell Aristo case for the 48-50. Here's my 46-47 with it.
A few more razors I picked up from various venues. My first Durham Duplex that I wasn't really shopping for but it came in a grab bag. It hasn't had a bath yet but it looks like it should clean up all right. The other three are a $6 Slim, a BlueTip, and a $8 Fat Handle (late). Not sure what the BlueTip cost since it came with some other items including some vintage blades and such. Besides the Durham, the other three have had their first cleanings and they're all decent user grade. I had another BlueTip I bought a while back but after cleaning it up I discovered some nasty corrosion at the top of the handle so it went into the razor graveyard drawer. This one shined up a lot better and I've already shaved with it twice in the past few days. I had always held off from buying one since it's supposed to be Mr. Mild but so far it seems to shave not much different than a regular SuperSpeed.
Of all the razors I've come across over the years, I think the Slim is what I've found the most often. Gillette must have sold a couple ton of those over the years.
Congrats! You will love it how it performs. The handle fits really great in the hand. The knot will develop a nice bloom, and it will be a looker as well.
