It started off great. I had been waiting months...okay a little over a week, but it felt like months, but I finally received an attic found Rolls with extra blade still in the paper and grease, a holder and was on top of the world:w00t:. The seller sent it as found which I prefer in vintage items. Many a wasted treasures come from "cleaning them".:thumbup1: Which brings me to the bad day.
Now I followed he instructions I found here to clean it. After dismantling I cleaned the old dust grime with simple Dawn and water and it looked brand new and shiny and I planned to hone and strop once I was sure both strop and hone were thoroughly dry. Then I saw the one place I missed, a grimy spot under the spring that holds the blade straight while stropping/honing....yep, had to clean that and yep, I am now searching for a new spring. It gets better, I jerked back and knocked my stone off. Good news? I now have three stones.:bored:
Am I screwed with a pretty shelf piece or are replacement parts still sold anywhere? This one would of been pristine and I, in the battle of disposable razors, would really hate for this to become one.:blush:
Is there lep out there???:huh:
Thanks from a
