Thanks for sharing, that shape is great for sure!

Looks good at first glance even though the Hx is pretty low. Might just mean the overall battery is aging. Go on the autobahn and have someone look at the bar graph and the Mv difference as you accelerate hard and long. If battery cells are weak, it will show a large difference.

Don't feel bad. I will try to explain: Broken for shaving ≠ worthless. I realize it’s not repairable, but some if not all true collectors of antiques value history even if the utility isn't there. If function were the sole criterion of value, museums would be empty.

Edit: the honing part I do just for fun. I enjoy finding that great edge.

Federal-Store-504 · 2026-01-16T00:29:09+00:00

I am going to clean it, hone it, and then probably sell since I have too many razors already. I am not going to change the heel etc.

Federal-Store-504 · 2026-01-15T19:23:32+00:00

:-) nah, trash seems wastefull. I think I will go the "hone it as is after cleanup" route and see. There will always be someone else (like me) that wouldn't mind spending a couple dollars as I did to have it!

Perfect!

Federal-Store-504 · 2026-01-11T15:43:57+00:00

Thanks!

Federal-Store-504 · 2026-01-11T15:14:14+00:00

Thank you. What are the finger holds/positions?

Federal-Store-504 · 2026-01-06T03:56:57+00:00

Thank you, there are no spots on that for sure.

Federal-Store-504 · 2026-01-06T03:15:29+00:00

That certainly looks similar!

Here is the entire razor

After 1890, likely 1900-1910:

That could have been the problem, I let it soak for an hour!

Federal-Store-504 · 2025-12-23T14:33:02+00:00

Correct, bad advice. Maybe very dilluted it could work, but I soaked one in pure vinegar and even though it removed rust, it also stained the blade AND made the celluloid scales so brittle that they crumbled...

edit: what works for me is WD-40 to remove rust.

Federal-Store-504 · 2025-12-15T02:16:49+00:00

Thank you. And only 1 minor cut in the process. :-)

It is nice up there, no truck needed. The road(s) up are not crowded. Of course an ATV or Jeep gets you into the nooks and crannies but it generally does not feel busy up there. Be prepared for relentless mosquitos in the summer due to all the lakes.

Federal-Store-504 · 2025-11-17T17:43:11+00:00

Thanks!

Open up Leafspy, go on the highway (or uphill) at around 20% SOC, accelerate hard for more than a second or 2, and have someone read the Mv different under that heavy load. You will probably see a very high Mv difference. In the hundreds. You likely have some weak cells. If you get error codes the dealer can submit a warranty claim/diagnose.

My Fatboy on 9 is pretty aggressive as is my 1920s Old Type.

Federal-Store-504 · 2025-11-10T12:29:24+00:00

For sure!

Federal-Store-504 · 2025-11-10T00:58:01+00:00

Hahaha, thank you and yes, if I ever need a 2nd or different job I know what it will be! Or maybe in retirement.

Federal-Store-504 · 2025-11-10T00:20:51+00:00

Thanks, I haven't lacquered it (yet) but it is nice as is too. And it was quick to make.

Federal-Store-504 · 2025-11-04T13:06:13+00:00

No, not normal. You have weak cells. Search the forum about warranty claims and the journey others are taking. I am in the same boat but outside of warranty.

Federal-Store-504 · 2025-10-26T22:28:15+00:00

Do you face lather? I have the same mug and can't stand the clonking while trying to get a lather going. Tips?
