The razors were made of brass and then plated in Chrome or Gold. Some Tech razors were yellow brass with red brass. It needs replating, but beautiful job!
O found the Gillette new improved chesterfield 1923's model in my grand fathers old house! It was in a very good condition so i clean it only with hot water and soap! And know it's perfect! I use it almost every day
Был набор Джилет в черном дермантиновом корпусе под кожу 1923 г. В этом наборе была точно такая же бритва, металическая коробочка для хранения лезвий, цилиндр с отверстиями как в перечнице (но дырки больше) наверное для мыла и второй цилиндр в котором хранился помазок с алюминиевой ручкой. Весь набор был покрыт белым металлом не знаю хром, никель, или какой то другой металл, но там где были потертости виднелся желтый металл. Внутри он был отделан синей тканью похоже что атлас но уже не блестел. Также в наборе было зеркало. Логотип Джиллет был только на станке.
Latvian here. Very similar razor I inherited from my father, also Gillette England. From about WWII time. In a better condition and accidentally I used it myself. A few years ago I bought a Merkur razor which is nearly 100% similar to the old Gillette. And by the way, with such a razor you can not only shave, but also trim your hair.
That razor might be worth sending to Razor Emporium in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, for their "Revamp" service. Their technicians can renew the razor and then re-plate it for you. I sent one of my own Gillette Tech Ball End razors (which is much newer than the razor shown here, of course) and they did a marvelous job for me. Razor Emporium has its own channel and you might like to see some of their restoration videos.
Yes! They are really very good! The thing is that I live in Argentina and shipping is a bit far for me. Also, honestly, I enjoy the process. Thank you for commenting.
I realize trying to chrome plat it would be a huge setup issue and cost. But you could easily Nickel Plate it very easily and cheap. And once it is Nickel Plated, you can buff it to a mirror finish and would look every bit as nice as Chrome Plating... Just an idea...

Of course, here's a less polished version:
Great input! I'd love to chrome it, but I'm still missing some stuff. Thank you very much for the feedback!
I have an old Rotbart Razor from the 1930s...from my grand-grand dad. I am using him daily.
Those are the stories we love the most on this channel! Thank you for sharing!

Спасибо большое за столь подробное описание набора! Очень интересно узнать такие детали о вещах с историей. Ценю ваше время и внимание к деталям!”

Back Roads Gold also does a really good job, just in case you're looking for an alternative.

A good one! Thanks for the comment.
@@OldRazors I agree. Razor Emporium's "Revamp" service would be great. They can professionally re-plate the razor.
Is this open or closed comb?
It si open comb! Thanks!
Sensational
Quedó como nueva esa maquinilla de afeitar clásica de peine abierto. Adecuada para barbas duras.
Gracias Sergio!
I bought this same kind of razor at a flea market for 10 bucks brand new
رائع 💪
you took a piece of junk and made it into a functional tool, good job
You need to re plate it.

What, no sand blasting?? 😊
What tools and compounds did you use? And I'm curious, why didn't you use a rotary tool and brush?
Because I don't have one!
Looks like mine after the wife's used it . Shes growing a beard now so it should be easier to clean
Well😅
