I went to eBay....NOS Gillette Super Adjustable, $5.99 BIN, free shipping!!!!!
I lightly scuffed the dulled/bare areas, primed them, touched them up and then applied an enamel clear coat.
Careful Cap, you're revealing all your secrets! That being said, I'm going to touch up the black handle of my SA this weekend!

I actually get a lot of joy out of cleaning them REALLY cruddy nasty ones and seeing how close to new I can make them. I recently finished a fatboy for Paul (tukyou), first production year to be exact, and it was very cruddy looking to begin with. Now it looks like you just took it off the assembly line from the 50's!
