Hello, B&B'ers. I have been trolling the forums for a while, and finally feel I have something to contribute. I received the best gift at Christmas this year. I was sent my grandfathers DE razors. My Moms Dad 84 (still alive,) and my Dads Dad (90 passed.) With no serial numbers on these razors, I'm having a hard time with the specific dates they may have purchased them, and am hoping someone might be able to help with that.
I wanted to show the process I used to clean and restore them. I have documented them in pictures in 3 Stages. Stage 1 was the condition I received them in. Stage 2 was the inital cleaning, and Stage 3 was the polishing phase.
I have ordered a sampler pack of razors that I am so excited to start using. I think more than anything though, the thought that I am shaving with my grandfathers razors is pretty darn cool.
Enjoy the pics, and I welcome any comments. Thanks for looking.
