Did you turn that Bostonian from gold to silver? Can't quite tell in the pics.
It looks nice, I am going to have to pick one of those up one of these days.

Nope it is a silver one. Inside of the case (the liner) was just destroyed. Razor was just dirty and dusty
and now that i look at the pics a little closer, it is definitely the camera angle/lighting
Looks good 
I just got this Gillette single ring in with a lot of razors off ebay. The case is in good condition except for the fact that it is missing part of the snap to close it. The razor is in excellent condition except that I want to polish it and make it shine once again. When I started looking at it and found out that is was made in 1908 I got really excited. The razor still had a blade in it which we all hate for safety reasons. But in this case it answered a question for me. The old 3 hole Gillette blade had numbers on it dating to 1921, which leads me to believe the it was shortly after that the razor was put away and never used again until 09/25/10. I did not even bother to polish it up I just soaked it in Barbicide and shaved with it. I have always wanted to shave with a razor that was over a Century old. The shave that I got was good. It still surprises me that a razor designed over 100 years ago does such a good job.

I used some Maas polish and shined the old razor up. The razor no longer looks its age.

Nice work, those sure clean up nicely. The case looks pretty good too.
Awesome work on the Bostonian and the Single ring, guys! Those are some amazing looking razors now.

What kind of razor is this? I've never seen the combination of gold and black.
According to Mr.Razor it is a gold black Tech circa 1938-1941. The gold head on the black handle is a striking combination.

Wow, Condorito! That's a day and night difference. Nice job!
I agree, it looks amazing. Did you buy it off the bay?
Yes.
Thank you. After that cleaning, it looked like someone scraped certain areas. I found a lot of scratches, but it came out nice
For $7 I'm pretty happy. Mad in Canada is a nice bonus!
