Lot of ?? About restoring TTO razors lately .. Here's my guide w/ 2 sheratons

[Heespharm]

Just trying to give back by walking through a clean up with 2 sheratons I got recently for about 20 a piece


Here are the recent purchases from the bay as u can see 1 is ugly, 1 is semi ugly and the last one is already restored...







1. Boil water



2. Put razors to be restored in a jar with a little detergent.. And pour boiled water in jar.. Do NOT boil razors in pot as that can deform the metal sometimes

3. After water cools down to room temp pour water and razors out in sink scrub them with an old toothbrush... After that spray scrubbing bubbles on it and leave for a couple of minutes



4. Scrub down razors with a toothbrush, rinse and dry razors... Next is polish... If it's gold I use blue magic (says can use on gold) if not I use maas (May damage gold plate)... Spread all around the razor and leave on if your using blue magic ... Next I scrub the polish on with a toothbrush then buff and buff and buff with a microfiber towel..



Here are the three razors... Guess which one was the one I restored first.. That's right it's the one with the bronzed handle as I used a dremel to polish it... It polished but took all the gold with it!



Heads look so pretty

Very informative, thanks for posting that! Lots of cleaning/restoring threads for nickle-plated razors, but not many for gold.

Oh, and now I really want a Sheraton

Thanks for sharing this guide...I am waiting on a Sheraton in similar shape, as we speak. I hope I can get similar results!

New razor in a can works awesomely for this task.
