Two new ones.

Post by knife7knut »

Found 4 straight razors at an antique shop tied together w/ a rubber band. One had celluloid handles that had outgassed & affected the others.
After I told him they should be thrown out before they affected anything else in the booth, he gave them to me.
I didn't think they were salvageable(had to use pliers to get them open),but tried anyway. Two of the blades crumbled as I tried to clean them. One had a good blade but a broken handle. Stole the handles off one of the broken ones & cleaned the blade.
The remaining one just needed a good cleaning & polishing.
Here are the results of a couple hours labor.

Good deal!
And you educated the seller on some valuable information that may save them from more damage in the future!

Well done.
I've seen several that were wrecked over the years because antique dealers don't know what kind of damage out gassing can do.
