Nice resto Tom! Those are lovely handles indeed. I agree with WCHNU that the maroon is a Treet handle. I have seen advertiesements for them somewhere - I think they were sold out in the 40's yeah? Nice razors - ya got me sweating to crack out a baton handle here! I have only two NOS Gem ones so I never have loaded one up. I am really starting to itch here now though!

If you have Two NOS you only need to keep ONE that way. Use the thing.

Thanks, it only took a couple of minutes but it really improved the looks of the handle. I like the guard bar on the Treets, reminds me of the Clog-pruf, which is my favorite in the Micromatic family.
I agree, bust one out and try it.

Tom, the handles came out great. What knid of plastic polish are you using? Seems to work well.

Tom, what I really really like, aside from the rich marroon handle and the lovely Chrome like replate on the head, is the cool lower case font for the Treet logo, first time seeing one for me. TOP notch setup there sir!

Those solid Treet handles look great. The GEM batons are more hollow yeah? Good looking razor - especially for under two bucks!!

That looks great. Let us know how you like the solid safety bar as opposed to the closed comb on the GEM.

That cleaned up great, and I really like the two toned handle.

Not really so much how good it looks once it is cleaned up but most important is how is shaves for you. How all works well.
