I started the clean up of a Marx & C. "Koh-i-noor" razor with blonde horn scales and I am having some difficulties.
Basically after taking apart it apart I realized that it had been already repinned in the past (there is trace of a drill bit under the one pin head) there are few crackes here and there (specially one scale around the wedge), they are sligly twisted/ bent and around the pinholes there is some staining.
I cleaned them with soap and tried some clorine and they came up preatty clean, but some of the staining remains, it is like it is embedded in the fibres around the pin holes.
is there a solution for this?
the other issue is regarding the cracks, what would be the best way to "stabilize" them?
as for the bent/twisting, i guess some steam in the right places should fix it, in any case any advice is more than welcome
this is the razor before cleaning
