This is how the pros do it. And, they use Flitz.

Since you're looking at refurbing one and using the other, I'll offer the following insight:

  • For cleaning, I like to first see what I can get off with a 1:1 Water:White Vinegar solution. Sometimes this is enough to get the grime off. If you notice that there are some shallow scratches, you can try using some high grit (1000 - 4000) sandpaper to even things out. For a polished finish, I'll start with Flitz, followed by Turtle Wax, buffed to a shine by either a microfiber cloth or a Dremel polishing cloth.
  • For using the other brush as-is, pick up some Barbicide from Amazon or a local Sally's Beauty Supplies and mix one capful with 2 cups of water. Be *really* careful with this stuff, if it gets on your hands or clothes at full strength, you're going to have a bad time. I used some spare vinyl dishwashing gloves for safety. Soak the hair (but not the handle if you can manage) for 8-10 minutes. Immediately rinse well under running water and wash with baby shampoo. Let air dry. That should be enough to kill most anything left over from the brush's previous owner.

To disinfect, I soak in Dettol Disinfectant. Immerse in lukewarm water and add hot water slowly to raise the temp and let it sit for an hour...

To clean, I use a soft toothbrush and dish washing liquid...


To polish, I use Flitz to make it shine...



By the way, be gentle when cleaning the "numbers", some of the black paint on mine flaked off unlike my Slims and Fatboys...

Use Flitz. Terrycloth or microfiber towel, doesn't matter.

I used this stuff with a microfiber. Didn't take long at all and came out really nicely. I was just amazed at how much soot built up in a few months.

Everyone does it differently but we all probably use the same product called Nesquik Instant Coffee. Generally brew up a batch at room temperature with distilled water. Boiling it turns allot of the acids into base and well water has allot of minerals in it.

Basic ferric chloride etch to get an even base coat going. I'll generally neutralize with Windex. Then clean the oxides off with a cotton makeup pad with a dab of Green Flitz. Making sure its all even. If not repeat.

Then as simple as dropping it in the coffee and checking every 5-10 minutes since it etches slow. Repeated etching intervals of 5 minutes with a quick Windex neutralization and light makeup surface wiping to continually remove the surface oxides will get you there. (No Flitz if your going for dark until your set on the color since it will drop it a shade)

The finer the grind the darker an etch will take.

But as I said before ultimately it all comes down to the steel to achieve a full black etch. There's just not enough Manganese in 1080 and 1095. Without using something like a blueing agent it'll always be closer to a deep grey. Steels like D2, 5160, 1084, and 80CRV2 all have a higher Manganese content which allows for a deeper darker etch. There are others I just can't remember them off the top of my head.

>Ok that doesn't sound too bad or expensive, actually sounds kind of fun, maybe I'll make it a hobby, supplement my income or use some to trade my RAD might get in the way of that though.

Danger! This way be dragons. :)

>Where can you get those polishes, I have never seen those particular ones?

I buy them locally at an ACE Hardware, but if you can't find them locally you can get them on Amazon: Flitz and Maas

>Also how did I do value wise, are any of those valuable or anything? Did I spend too much?

Let's see...

I think you took a bit of a bath on the third lot with the Red Tip. The Techmatic doesn't get any love because it's not all that pleasant to shave with and even if it were it's not exactly easy to find replacement cartridges for it. The Valet Auto-Strop is also not going to bring a whole lot. They're not bad shavers, and that gold one at least can take regular SE blades if you pop the spine off of them, but they're basically filler razors that people use to pad out lots. If you get into collecting at all seriously you should basically value them at $0 when you're figuring what you're willing to pay for a lot because you'll end up with a shoebox of them without even trying.

Take that other lot, for example. The way I'd look at that grouping is to immediately discount the Christie and the clippers as just somebody else's junk. That particular Auto-Strop requires special SE blades with a knockout inside the blade, so it's even less desirable than usual. So you're left with the Flare Tip Super Speed, the Ever-Ready 1924-patent "Shovelhead," and the brush. The razors are both good shavers, although the Super Speed is missing at least one end cap -- not an issue from a functional standpoint, but it hurts its value. The brush looks like a decent little travel brush. The old knot is probably shot (though maybe not) but it might be worth reknotting it if the handle were nice enough.

Still, you're only into the lot for $25 shipped, which is fine unless you're looking to flip any of it. Figure about $10 each for the Super Speed (dinged for condition) and the 1924, a couple bucks for the brush, and a couple bucks for postage and you're at fair money.

I'd say the other two Super Speeds are about the same -- decent prices for your own use, not great if you're looking to resell them.
