Great maintenance video. You don’t see many of those these days. Thanks for the tips.

I would use autosol cream on the buffer. It would still shine the same without taking any metal off, but great way too I must say. Have a great weekend Eric.

Kypros autosol cream sounds great! ;) Thanks for the great Tip and thanks for watching! :) Have a great weekend and take care my friend! :) #Heart

Excellent video Eric. We don't see enough razor restoration videos these days. To get rid of the pitting, you have to start with some 400+ grit wet/dry sandpaper and start with the green compound and then work your way up to the white. A Dremel is worth its weight in gold when it comes to straight razors.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Stephen a Dremel is the quintessential straight razor tool for today! ;) Thanks for your great Tip for removing the pitting and for your encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Take care and have a good weekend my friend! :) #Heart

Great video Eric! Nice idea of using the Dremel. I usually use fine grit sandpaper and steel wool for cleaning and polishing old razors

Hi Eric, great tip about the fibreglass tip/pen for getting in those difficult spaces. I have just ordered three, brass, steel and fibreglass. I have always struggled with sandpaper but got the job done eventually, but this looks a lot easier.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Graham the fiberglass tip/pen is great for cleaning out those tough to get at places! ;) Yeah Buddy! I've never tried the brass or steel, please let me know how you get along with them. Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Have a good week and take care, stay safe my friend! :) #Heart

[@mickeygotrecords]

Yes man! You think dremel is not heating metal with blanket polishers? I have also used my dremel but lately thought about metal heating too much or not...

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great question Pekka! ;) This could transfer heat into the blade if you hold the polishing wheel on your blade in one place too long. However, if you are jumping around and not staying in one spot and have cold water handy to dip the blade into. You'll be fine! Thanks for your great question and thanks for watching! :) Have a good day, take care and stay safe my friend! :) #Heart

@@AdventuresInWetShaving yes excatly - that can work perfectly. You too, thanks!

[@Gollammeister]

Essentially polishing is the grinding of the surface and making scratches smaller until they no longer are visible to the naked eye but if u used a microscope be a different matter

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great question Gollammeister! ;) You are absolutely right, Yeah Buddy! #Heart

[@mathewfromthemountains7157]

Hello, can you share a reliable site to purchase beautiful (used) straight razors?

[@lesliebraithwaite6853]

Thank you for the sHout out I have a drumal also I will try it out

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Leslie give it a try! ;) Take care my friend! :) #Heart

[@Gollammeister]

Would polishing the spine of the razor affect the flatness of the spine when honing reground blade if u get what I mean sorry if its a daft question I'm still learning I've only been full straight razoring a few months

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great question Gollammeister! ;) The affect would be very small, but yes... you just wouldn't be able to see it, unless you polished in the same spot or area for sometime. Thanks for your great question and thanks for watching, my friend! :) #Heart

[@lesliebraithwaite6853]

Explain the thumb test when you take and pull the razors across your nails when i am sharpening it will cross with with some resistance from a when it is dry it' will glide smooth I also love Nevia aftershave

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great question Leslie! ;) When you're "Setting the Bevel" on a straight razor the stone should leaves a toothy edge along the entire length of the edge. This is how you'll know the bevel is set on your straight razor. Thanks for your great question and Nivea is always good! :) Have a good weekend and take care my friend! :) #Heart

Man I just buff em with the same paste I use for sharpening

[@shadowman4330]

I would have sanded first and then polishing (strarting at a low grit wet/dry sandpaper up to 2000 grit sandpaper)

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Guido that sounds like a great idea! ;) I'll have to give it a try next time. Do you restore straight razors? Thanks for your great suggestion and thanks for watching! :) Have a good day and take care, my friend! :) #Heart

[@shadowman4330]

@@AdventuresInWetShaving no but watched a lot of video from brad from Maggard restoring a Straight. I tried with my own razors and it worked out great. I started with 400grit and then moved. As lubrication I used wd40 while sanding, works way better than dry or water

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Guido that's very cool! ;) How many straight razors do you have? #Heart

[@shadowman4330]

@@AdventuresInWetShaving 1 Gold Dollar 208 3 Koraat custom razors 2 J.A Henckels 1 Thiers Issard Le Dandy So 7 in total And I work also in IT like you (what have seen from your profile)

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Wow! That's a very nice collection of straight razors! ;) Yeah Buddy! Yes, I do work in IT as an Network Systems Administrator. What kind of IT work do you do?

[@lesliebraithwaite6853]

How do you sanitize your razors ?

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great question Leslie! :) To sanitize when I get a razor I'll use soap and water! ;) Then to keep everything in good shape I'll use my razor wax which will keep the steel from rusting and it also sanitizes the blade as well. Thanks for your great question and thanks for watching! :) Hope you had a good weekend and take care my friend! :) #Heart

[@zenrazor659]

The Dremmel perhaps its good to remove stains but the real problem its permitting stains to form!🎉 Air and water can damage a razor !

[@all4usa]

would a gait belt that they use in hospitals work for this?

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great question Jimmie! ;) From what I've seen gait belts are made from cotton, and that might work. However, you will need a lot more elbow grease to polish your blade than using a polishing wheel.

does anybody know if this guy answers anybody's questions or is even active? because the products he shows are not the products you will get if you order them off Amazon. just saying

@@AdventuresInWetShaving I think it's great what you're doing. but coming from somebody completely new to this there's a learning curve and I'm stuck at a dead end LOL but you are very helpful thank you for that

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Where are you stuck Jimmie?

[@bobbyscalchi4013]

I swear I have these same exact polish bars in my polish box somewhere in storage from when I was restoring my threewheeler from 2006. It's now sadly rotting in my brothers field after moving 4 times when I got married in 2009 and separated and divorced in 2019.😅 I know I have them and accessible I just don't want to look for them. I actually have a cloth in my medicine cabinet loaded with the white rouge for putting a mirror finish on my gold. I got some compound sticks from harbor freight but I don't think they are as good a quality. Shining up some neglected Dubl Ducks this weekend. I've already polished up 20 times with Mothers Aluminum and Chrome Polish and edged them good in the last month. Good times and some great shaves.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Yes, Bobby I believe you are right production quality isn't as good as pre-pandemic. Hopefully, the quality standards will go back up in the future. Your Dubl Ducks sound beautiful, I bet they are a pleasure to shave with! What did you edge them on?
