Just acquired a Gillette old type ball end. It looks to me to be unused and still has the cosmoline coating on it.
Now I don't know if it came with cosmoline when it was newly packed, or if they even used cosmoline. It was in with a bunch of razors I purchased. (No case)
I don't know if cleaning it would lower it's value or if it was so common a razor that it wouldn't make any difference. It appears that it hasn't been used. It is tarnished of course, but the top cap and base plate were stuck together with what appears to be cosmoline.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
This is my first post so hope I'm not out of line or posted in the wrong area. Thanks again.
