Hello, I bought what appears to be an ancient Gillette (Patent Nov 1904) single ring open comb razor from an antique store for about $9. I would love to try and use this razor, but it needs some serious clean up and there appears to be some green rust in the comb area.
Questions:
1) is it a bad idea to try and use such an old razor?
2) would cleaning off the "rust/gunk/Pettina" harm any value that it may hold now or in the future?
Any input or thought are appreciated.
Thanks!
