Is there a way to save this razor?
hello!
I just got a cut-throat razor on ebay...hopefully I didn't pay this too much (10 euro for this one (bartmann solingen 504)+2 gilette safety razors in mint condition)
The cut-throat had a crack on his blade. Here in belgium, its very difficult to find the equipement to fix razorblades (stones, leather,etc..)Its also difficult to find someone who knows how to do this. So I just decided to quick fix the blade with manucure tools and to make it shine asnew in order to sell it to someone else as a "collector" (since nobody here uses these anymore)
I firt plunged it into a solution of vinegar, water and salt (It had stains of rust). I was not convinced by result so i decided to use bleach (bad idea : small black dots appeared on the blade). Finally I used coca-cola (it contains phosphoric acid).
The good thing is that the stains have disappeared.But now the blade has become like old and dark.
I'd like to make it glitter and shine like a diamond! (except by painting on it:w) what should I try????
thank you!!!
