to be honest... I've met great people and true gentlemen here on the board. I didnt even think about that option
. Guess thats what happens if you cant sleep and roam the vast internet/ebay whilst tired... 
I think I like that option... I'd rather give my money to a B&B brother than some stranger on ebay. Plus, then I know the razor came from someone that knows his stuff. Thanks!!
Oh wow... I didn't know.... thought it might be some sort of plastic and once that has seen the end of its life...thats would be it. Good to know. Thank you

I would love to hear more about this. I have a 1970 black handle that I purchased as I graduated from college that year. The metal polishes up nicely, but the handle looks a little sketchy. Do you know someone who does recoating?
People on this forum have had great success with gun enamel. I used black model paint. It looks and feels great, and the pain job seems to hold up well against wear and tear. Two layers seems to be the secret trick. I have to admit that it has only been a week or so since i recoated the handle and it could very well turn out disastrous in the future. However i very much doubt that. Recoating it yourself is also quite a lot cheaper than sending it to someone to have it done. I think i paid about 7 bucks and i have the equipment to do multiple operations now.
Or you could send it to Cap. He has mine right now.
I have a 1984 Black Handle that has a lower profile head, I believe, than the earlier ones. Also, it has a rectangular indentation in the guard plate, instead of the diamond, and generally lighter construction. But, it shaves great.
Good luck, Quink.

Very nice. Enjoy.
Enjoy your black handle Quink! It was my first vintage as well thanks to a fellow member. (Mine is a 67 M1) All I shave with anymore is vintage. Also have a D1 1958 Flare Tip and an I2 1963 Slim
