Gratuitous Safety Razor Photos

Whats the deal with the Molly Resin coating on the center Star razor from page one of this thread. With the silver head it kind of looks like a Franken-Star. Is this legit or one of your custom builds?

 

It is a brass Star that a TSD member modified for me several years ago as an experiment. It is a show stopper.

 

The member is not an active one at the present time.

 

Here's my latest acquisition. Finally found a NEW SC.

AFTER!

 

That looks fantastic.
What did you use to clean it up with?

 

Scrubbing Bubbles and, since I'm keeping it, a light brushing with a brass brush. The top is starting to show the red brass.

The SC is next in line after my current Maggard "Frankenrazor".

The handle on my "Frankenrazor" was included in a box of razors I picked up at an estate sale. It's very heavy and it's solid below the neck where the threads are. It's even heavier than my DE89 handle! Shaves great though. It was originally a bluish-steel color. Chris at RazorPlate thinks it may have been very old chrome. I used the brass brush on this one also, but with alot of elbow grease, to get it to this point.

 

She's a beauty.

 

Bought this mainly because it had a case. Secondly, the date code wasn't listed and hoped it would be a birth year/quarter U2 (it's a T2 - so close!) Lastly, I wanted to try to clean one up.

Before:



After:



It has some plate loss on the doors but it shined up pretty nice. Most of it was just soap scum.

 

Nice! but U2? So you still haven't found what your looking for?

 

It cleaned up beautifully. Well done!

 

Not yet. But when I do it will be a Beautiful Day.

Excellent!

 

16 pages and growing! Keep the adds coming gents!

This is a good reference for when someone goes, what razor is this?

 

This is my Gillette family; '59 Fat Boy, '67 Slim Adjustable, 40's Superspeed, '55 Flair Tip and '67 Black Handle

 

My first find "in the wild" back in April 2014. Late '40's Gold Fat Handle Tech

 

Nice find. It looks to be in great shape.
