I thought about not taking it apart and cleaning just what I could.
I'm glad I unpinned it.
just in case you guys want to know.....this is what lurks beneath at the pivot.

tonights goal buff and clean shank more. im taking my time with this. waiting on special nickle collars. thinking about ordering a 12k kuromaku friday too.
black enamel missing from most lettering. thinking about using a gunsmith trick. clean with alcohol and do an enamel wipe to fill in the lettering on both sides.
be well all.

Very nice work.
camo, a too quick glance at that photo had me suprised & sad for a hot second... the qtip buds against the paper towel background made me think the blade was missing chunks and toast...
nice job so far.. is the quick method of painting, add paint, wait and wipe? if so, whats the not quick method? tiny brushes?
the collars i ordered look like this. the closest I believe to an OEM look of older razors.

an actual raised double walled punched collar instead of just a washer.
