As per acquisitions thread, this arrived today.
Surprised that the head and baseplate are in very god condition (especially the baseplate - very shiny). Have done two eight minute ultrasonic cleans in shower gel and tried scrubbing up with some Silvo but hasn't lessened the blackness of the handle. could it be the plating has come off there? Wouldn't it be brass coloured?
If it can't be improved without a replate it's not th end of the world; I have a handle from our Daz coming soon and intend to use the head on that. If it fits!
And if anyone knows anything about these I'd be interested to here. It might be a frankenrazor for all I know. A carbon steel Gillette Blue blade was inside (hence the rust) which had a date code of S4. Surely they weren't making those old blades in 1972?
Thanks
The black sections not so visible above. Unfortunately my camera is dreadful and it wouldn't focus when so close. This is the best I could manage
