Reborn President

I put Dave Gorder (ocrazorman @ westcoastrazors) to the test recently with this terribly abused Gillette President I found hiding in an obscure eBay auction:

$President & psycho razors 006.jpg
$President & psycho razors 002.jpg

The plating was mostly worn down to the brass as you can tell, the doors opened poorly and it was generally as ugly as a mud fence as we say in Texas. Here it is after Dave fixed it and plated it in Rhodium:
$President replated (9) - Copy.jpg
$President replated (3) - Copy.jpg
$President replated (2).jpg

Thanks, Dave, for a job well done.
 
Wow nice, is that the Dirty little clinton president "before" pictures? Now its the new good clean boy Clinton "after" pics ?

Anyways glad he is reborn again :eek:) The razor that is. Well the President also. I mean the Gillette President Razor :eek:)
 
I can't believe he fixed the mechanics of that thing.... he must know some magic. I'd love a 1953 Y2 President.... it would be one of my mother's birthday razors.

Thanks, guys, I appreciate the kudos and I know that Dave does as well. To answer your questions, yes I'm sure it's the same razor :thumbup: Re: the question of whether the doors work well now, yes, they work well... as you can see in one of the pics if you look closely, one of the doors at the end sits just a hair higher than the other, hardly noticeable and doesn't affect anything. And the difference between this President and politicians is that they just play like they've changed... this guy really has! :lol:
