Worth of repainting numbers on Gillette adjustable DE safety razors

[FIRSTMAN01]

Is it worth it to repaint the worn-off numbers on the collar of Gillette adjustable DE safety razors? If so, how would this best be done?

 

[OkieStubble]

Being worth it is in the eye of the beholder I would imagine. And I don't know if it is the best way, but I repainted my 1973 Gillette long handled Super Adjustable with one of those vehicle paint touch up pens. So far so good.

I've never found the need to repaint the numbers in any of my vintage razors. However, if I were to get one replated, I would definitely paint the numbers. Not sure the best way to do it, need something really fine to get in there and some good enamel paint.

+1 on a good enamel paint. Use a super fine model paint brush, check craft stores. No worries about "painting outside the lines". Just get the paint in there, let it dry for 24 hours and carefully scrape off any pant outside the number depression.

I'll be getting my Slim replated sometime this year. Was wondering the same thing. Lots of different ways to approach it. Good to get others' ideas.

It's so easy to do it why not? Takes about 5 minutes. Just follow the instructions posted above.
