I've cleaned up dozens of ancient, silver plated Gillettes, but this one is stubborn. Attached image is the head cap of a new improved. The plating on the rest of the piece is in very fine condition. The head cap, I've used every trick I know: long hot soak, scrubbing bubbles, baking soda, but I haven't been able to get this to match the polish of the rest of the razor.
Darker areas on silver is often an indicator that the plating has thinned, but I don't think that's the case here, as I've been able to see some improvement.
Any suggestions?
