When I'm done playing here on the internet, I'm gonna go 'get it dirty'!
Safety Razor Acquisition Thread.

A sadly familiar story. Same happened to me with a super 84. Eventually got a super 109 birth year which is excellent so don’t give up. Better luck next time
Just when I thought I've seen them all... boom!
I'm diggin' that Single Ring! Nothing better than that black patina on a hundred year old silver plated razor!! Congrats on a terrific haul!Mail call!
1915 Gillette Single Ring sporting nice patina and straight teeth.
Myatt Daymark cased.
Thank you! I am a sucker for patina on a Single Ring...
Maybe in another hundred years time.
Maybe in another hundred years time.
Let's hope so!
Try leaving it out in the open in the bathroom. The, um, (ahem) release of sulfur dioxide in the small confined space should speed up the silver tarnishing process. It may only take 10 or 20 years instead of 100!Maybe in another hundred years time.
You're welcome! Glad I could help!
Boil an egg. Trow away the eggwhite. Put the razor and the jellow part of the egg in a zip bag. Make sure the razor doesn't touches the egg to avoid uneven discoloration. Close the bag and wait. You should see the first effects after one our.
But look what I have done recently.
As I bought it:
If the patina forms during my ownership I could live with that. All the razors I bought I've cleaned to a shine.

Thank you! I would need to do a recount. [emoji24] I’ll get that done after this round is complete!
Wow is All I can say about these last few pages 
Mail call. Today was pretty silly.
I can describe it as "Chaotic" rather.
You must be the one with the RAD, eh!

Chaotic is a good word. The Star, Ever Ready, unknown bakelite, both Tuckaway cases and single handle, the Rolls, and the NEW Standard were a single lot. The Milord, NEW Deluxe, restored Rubberset 400, and Bell Tube were separate purchases. The brush was by far the most expensive.
The RAD flows through me.
