The Shine Box

Been a busy summer. Took a break from acquiring razors. Here is one that recently got.

Nice! did you replate that or was it just all grime ?

 

Replate. It was in pretty bad shape. Came out ok. No where near perfect.

Hello all, I just wanted to show you a couple of photos of a razor clean up I did today. It's a 1907 Gillette Single Ring. Here's some before clean up-

Beautiful 1907! I been looking for those cardboard dull/sharp blade holders.

Also I just repainted the numbers, but didn't take a pic after that. You will see it featured in Fat Boy February.

 

Looks great my friend.

 

Thank you Doug! not bad for a $10 score. The seller said the adjuster was broken but it just needed a long hot bath to loosen up.

 

So I bought this toggle case but it was missing the insert. Since those aren't just laying around. I decided I'm going to make a custom insert. The case is rather long for just one razor, but 2 razors.... they fit nicely. Now this is just a rough template that I made out of cardboard ( 3 layers) and taped them with blue painters tape.

 

I bet you could get something 3d printed rather easily

 

I don't even know where I can get that done .

 

If you google 3d printing service you should find a bunch of options in your area. or you could design your insert yourself and order it online.
