And when is an Antique razor "unsafe" to use due to rust? This one seems almost rust free so I'm hoping I can use this one
I soaked the razor in an oxy clean solution for 45 minutes and then I took it out and used a firm toothbrush with dishwashing detergent and I guess that's all it really needs, except for maybe some Brasso or something, it's unbelievable how good of shape this is in, I'll have to post pics once I polish it. There's really no rust except for one small spec on the side frame of head.Try first, hot water dish and soap, soak for an hour or so. Then scrub with a toothbrush
Your kidding right?
That's a beautiful slim, Dave. I really like the counter top too!Picked up this H2 Slim yesterday at a local antique store for $25. Cleaned up nicely with little effort on my part.

Man...one could make a sweet custom hardwood handle for those pieces!
I should have worded my first post better. I figured it's an Old but I was curious about dating it and whether or not it's a Gillette due to the lack of markings? The old blade is pretty cool. I hadn't seen one before today.

Yes Nick, that was me. I am up there about once or twice a month and scour those stores looking for treasure. I passed by that score probably two other times. I did not dig deep enough. What are you doing up there?Hey Rod, that wouldn't have been in Fort st. John would it? I was just in a store that a nice man from GP was in a couple weeks ago that bought a tto and was looking for a straight. I immediately thought it was you. Nice score.
