What's new

Found a couple of razors today.

Gillette superspeed (think it's a 1955/4th quarter Z-2) and schick instamatic (are these any good?) i have never shaved with one. and i don't know if i wanna take it out of the box.

There's only one problem: it seems that there's some rust on the bottom of the knob (other than that, the razors looks awesome). Any way to get rid of this? can CLR take that off? i already used a toothbrush and paste on that part.

Also found an old shaving brush, it's an ever ready. ( I actually didn't get it though).

The SS is a good shaver but the plate loss on the bottom knob is not fixable without a replate which the razor does not warrant. You can buy one still in the original Gillette box (NOS) for less than a replate will cost you

The Schick uses proprietary continuous band blade cartridges that are no longer made and the NOS ones are very hard to find. Once you use up all of the blade you will toss the razor so I guess it is just an unopened curiosity for your new collection :001_smile
