    Vinyl floor mats getting "bent"... What to do?

    Not sure if I was supposed to glue them. Had a friend suggest them to me, to begin with. He's a very handy guy, and he didn't indicate that gluing was a requirement. Don't think gas got on them. I think it's more that we pull cars into the garage, and sometimes turn the wheels a little, and...

    Vinyl floor mats getting "bent"... What to do?

    I put down some vinyl mats years ago, when I discovered that my floor wasn't sealed properly (pieces of floor would come up onto my tires after a rain). They've been great, but are getting old and less supple. They've started to get bends in them, as pictured. Is there anything I can do to get...

    Cleaning an old double edge safety razor?

    I do think it's an L, yes. That would make it the year of my dad's 21st birthday, which is kind of cool. It may have been a birthday present, even. Thanks for all the help, guys!

    Cleaning an old double edge safety razor?

    I did the boil and the simple green. She's looking much better! The rotary setting doesn't seem to reach 9, but other than that, everything seems to work.

    Cleaning an old double edge safety razor?

    I'm thinking about using it. Kind of a connection to my dad, I guess. If it's the same one he had when I was growing up (which I think it is), it's also the first razor I ever shaved with. Kind of completes the cycle. :-)

    Cleaning an old double edge safety razor?

    Here are a couple of pictures of it. I'm not sure if this is the one he had when I was growing up (40+ years ago), or if it's one he got later. I imagine I'll see some labels/writing on it once I get the gunk off. From the pics, does anybody know what brand/model it might be? Thanks!

    Cleaning an old double edge safety razor?

    Awesome, guys, thanks! I'll post up some pics when I get home. (As it happens, I'm in the ER with my mom right now. Hopefully, she'll be leaving in the next 24-48 hours.)

    Cleaning an old double edge safety razor?

    My dad passed away earlier this year. One of his belongings, that I kept, was his old safety razor. I'd like to use it, and it's in working condition, but it's got a lot of residue on it... White gunk, that looks like shaving cream and soap residue that's accumulated over the years. What...
