Grodiest razor I've ever seen

[DonOhio]

Got these in a bundle for $5, along with a blue Lady and a G-bar. Fatboy works (only thing I actually checked before saying I'd buy them). They've got more dust, scale, corrosion, grime, scum and villainy on them than I've ever encountered, but the flare tip on the far right has knurling that is literally PACKED SMOOTH with I don't even wanna know what. The first step will have to be getting a box of toothpicks and... ...scraping out the treads. It almost isn't worth it.



This should make for a good before/after.

Forget it. Once I saw the pic blown up, I'm gonna PIF that bad boy. Who wants him?

No joke.

Yours looks like New Old Stock "Mint" compared to the one shown purchased by member Styx years ago...

Looks like something they'd find in the ruins of the Titanic.

Those will be fun to clean up. I love getting really nasty ones and working on them.

As a side note, haven't seen the word grody used in ages!

Oh, also, I'll post lots of before and after pics if I meet with any success at all.

It will clean up...I got a Slim in an even worse state, just needed a bit longer soaking before I took a toothbrush and toothpaste to it But I'd gladly give it a good home.

A couple of hours in a nickel stripping tank and an hour in the replating tank will bring them up like new and kill any known germs along the way too

Seriously though, If they will clean up - go for it.

Best Wishes

onotoman, didn't you buy the nastiest razor from argentina? How's that going? Or did I confuse you with someone else?

 

[DonOhio]

Okay, so it's not the nastiest, but it's in the top five.

PIF'd to the man with the derby and probably some self-hatred issues.

Hey, just noticed MM is from St. Louis...do they still sell Stag there?

 

[_MementoMori_]

Thanks to DonOhio for this... um... unique opportunity! I will do my best to make her gleam, gentlemen. Expect before and after pics within a week or two.

Stag, huh? You know, I'm not sure. It's one of those things I've never noticed because I've never looked for it. I'll keep an eye out next time I'm at the liquor store and I'll let you know.

 

[DonOhio]

My pleasure, MM. By the way - reliable intel informs me that your new razor once belonged to a Captain Koons.

LOOOOOOOOOL that is a great reference

 

[_MementoMori_]

I had to google the Captain Koons reference.

Scraping out the knurling with a toothpick may require a hazmat suit, methinks.

 

[faster_than_u]

Ill take it and give it a shot at cleaning

 

[xjrob85]

If you feel like PIFing that Fatboy away for someone to clean, I would love the challenge.
