The Shine Box

Outstanding job Andrew.
I like shiny things.

 

Thank you Doug! I love shining up old razors

 

I also enjoy shining up old razors. You do great work. What do you use to polish your razors? I use Zep Five Star Brass & Metal Polish. It works great and doesn't have any chemicals in it that will effect the finish, like Brasso.

 

I usually either use Weimans Metal polish, or Mothers Mag and Aluminum. On the silver Weimans worked better, but on discolored Nickel I think Mothers works better.

 

You should try the Zep Five Star.

Hi everyone, here are a few photos of my most recent restoration project. I polished the case and razor, replaced the velvet, and added a blade safe. The first two photos are the sellers.





Now the after photos-







I hope you folks like it. Thanks for your interest, and have a great night.

Beautiful razor sharp case.

 

Thank You Douglas!

 

Very nice, Alan !! I love the looks of those ABC sets!

 

Thank You Andrew!

 

Hi again folks, I just got done restoring another ABC set, and I wanted to show you all. This one is a 1909 gold smooth case scroll pattern razor.

Here are the before photos, they are the sellers pictures.





In my next post I will post the after photos.

For this restoration I polished the case, and razor parts, as well as the blade safe I got with it (which was a mismatch. ) . And I polished the replacement blade safe, and installed new velvet on the trays. I also had to do some work on the trays due to damage. Here's those photos-

The second photo of the razor with a blade safe is the correct one for this set. I have been carefully hoarding that blade safe for just such a project. I hope you all like it. Thanks for your interest. Have a great night!

Thanks for the compliment Andrew! I appreciate it.

 

Hi folks, today I would like to show you all my last restoration of this last bunch of ABC Pocket Editions that I recently scored. This particular set was one of those auctions that I would say was a fluke. A rarity. I say this because this set only had one other bidder, and I got it for $13 and some change, and $10 shipping. A great price! So anyway it just goes to show you that there are bargains out there. And now the sellers photos.





Now the after shots-







I really enjoy bringing these old razors back to life. Enjoy! And have a Blessed day!
