Antique "Gilette" Razor Restoration - Brass Polishing | Mister Patina
In this video im restoring an old Razor from Gilette, including the brassbox and the inner textiles. I got this Razor from a friend - thanks to Marvin at this point ;-)
For the razor and the boxing i focused on mirrorpolishing all the brass and steel parts, for the smaller spaces i used a small polishing machine/Dremel.
The Box was in a good condition and (i think) Nickel plated. Because of the condition and the plating, i decided not to polish it in the inner area, because its got the textile inlay.
The Gilette Razor was also in a good condition, it has several heat markings and oxidation. So i decided to also clean and polish the inner parts of the Razor.
In the End i did the final test on my own arm, it works perfectly fine - i expected that, because the Razor Blades were new :-)
For me it was real fun polishing those parts, because of the gold finish. The whole Restoration/Refurbishing didnt take too long, it was just a Quick Restoration with a nice before and after effect.
I hope you enjoyed the video, if you have any questions or suggestions, you can write an email, i try to answer asap.
Thanks for watching! :-)

Lovely resto. All his adult life, my late father used this type of razor. As did I when I first started shaving. However, as time went on I lost my right arm & was unable to use such a tool safely. I plumped for more modern multi bladed things with a solid bar (as opposed to toothed) guardrail, but NEVER have I been able to achieve such a close shave as with one of these. Sadly, it is now history & I use a BRAUN electric ! Thank you for sharing this excellent and (for me) nostalgic restoration.

My dad used to shave with razor like this. Also his father as well, my grandfather. I don’t have that razor anymore but i do shave with this style razor. I will tell you this razor is very good and I’m very happy after each shave. It is very sharp so you need to be very careful when you are shaving. In the past i tried all moderns razors but none of them is shaving like old school single blade razor. Great video of restoration. I like it a lot. All your videos i really like. Some of the tools i never saw in my life and i couldn’t imagine their existence.

Nice work, but as others have said, it's not supposed to be bare brass. Gillette made razors and cases out of brass, but then nickel, gold, or in rare cases, rhodium plated them. By cleaning the case, you removed all the plating. The correct plating should be re-applied.

Gave up on the double razor like in the video cause sometimes hard to find the blades. Still great for shaving tho. I maybe a little older than most viewers to your channel. Don’t know how this got recommend to me. Nice video tho.

Question: which compounds did you use for the razor and box? Can this all be done with a dremel instead of a bench? Which dremel bit pads would you use?
@misterpatina
@misterpatina 3 жыл бұрын
I use the blue and white polishing „blocks“. Blue is fine and white is medium. The difference between dremel and a polishing grinder is the size of the area being polished. If you do it with the small dremel bits (white buffing discs), there will be polishing marks. I’d use some soft bits (they have several layers of wool combined to one disc) as a finishing disc. But I can’t tell if it’s abrasive enough to polish deeper scratches.
