Reddit mentions of Polishing Creme For All Metals, French Lavender 2oz(57g)

That razor is 100 year old and only has some plating loss, use it, polish it with some MAAS metal polish occasionally and it will last another 100 years. Your could have it replated for aesthetics only, I am considering trying the Caswell Plug N’ Plate Kits when I am ready to replate some of my user grade razors.

You should be able to find either it, or an equivalent like Flitz I think. If not, its on amazon. You want to make sure you get the cream variety like this

Scrubbing Bubbles & hot water worked in with an old toothbrush followed by some Maas metal polish. This combo has never failed me.

Maybe Autosol or Autoglym? I'm not sure.

I found MAAS on Amazon.co.uk

Amazon! Can't believe I didn't think of that. I buy everything on amazon. Head is not on right today.

>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.

Here are some links for the product in the above comment for different countries:
