Refurbishing Process
Inspection, Repairs are made, guards are straightened, doors are straightened, mechanics are checked, endcaps soldered, razor is then disassembled.
Extensive Deep Cleaning and Disinfection.
Outer Head Surface and Endcaps are resurfaced to remove ALL scratches and pitting then mirror polished smooth. The rest of the razor will have a polished factory finish. Heavy pitting under doors, cap and baseplate, if present, will be lessened but still be visible.
Hand Polish with special jewelers cloths.
ALL razors receive Ultrasonic Deep Clean / Disinfecting at 160 degrees then 160 degree Electroclean, then Acid Surface Activation, then Bright Nickel Plating.
Followed by plating with 24K Hard Gold or Palladium Plate if chosen.
I paint the numbers and selector spring with Testors enamel paint. The black ring below the selector dial on Fatboys and Executives is now USA made automotive pinstriping, which in our experience lasts longer than painting with enamel. Red Tips and Blue Tips use Humbrol Enamel paints then are baked on.
Reassembly, blade gap is checked and set, mechanics are checked.
Final Hand Polish.
This Beautiful Collectible Bostonian Razor Is Essentially a Brand-New Razor
All Work Done by ’Backroadsgold’
The New Improved Bostonian was supposed to be easier to clean, a bit more durable and lessen the chance of nicks and cuts, perhaps by holding the blade more securely. These great-looking, great shaving razors were made from 1921-1928. In 1921 Gillette released the New Improved razor with the heavier flat guard. Please be sure to look closely at all the pictures also see the pictures that I’ve posted on YouTube and Blogger.
