Twinnumber2 said:Another question..........
What is the best setting for using an adjustable for the first time, should i start off at a low number?.
I currently use a EJ DE89 which gives me a really smooth shave and it will take something good to beat it.

The toothpaste tip seems to work. For me, I use Cillit Bang to shift any areas of old engrained soap scum but I wouldn't do it often as the chemicals might be a bit harsh, but it works superbly as a one off deep clean.
That is an awesome find... no doubt for personal reasons you want to keep Grandad's razor, but just be aware it's highly sought after!

This is a wonderful present your Father handed to you. I'd go for the replating as well. Hope you enjoy tonight's shave --- oh look at the time, you've done shaved and went to bed.
Regards, Robert

in every position and butterfly doors are nice and smoth, i would not get it replated as it's an original Razor and it's his Grandfathers....
just enjoy it as it is, it's got some family history and it will be a very nice Razor.
KRF1963 said:Proper job Steve. Just what do you do/use to get them looking this good? I have an ultrasonsonic cleaner and mine come up quite tiidily but nowhere as nicely as yours do.
What's the secret?
