To put life back into the blade
Hey all,
Need a little help. Here it goes:
I have an old j.a. Henckles straight razor that is in very good condition except for the steel having minor rust and some tarnish I want to remove (razor is scratch free and I'd like to keep it that way!) so I need some help on both removing the rust/tarnish and to make the blade beautifully shine like new. So here is what I'm thinking-
Begin with calcium lime remover (CLR) for the initial cleaning. Then, use a brass wire hand brush if necessary, to remove whatever is left. And last, use Flitz metal polish to give it a real nice shine. Does this sound like a good way to go?
Oh, and I'm not interested in wheels, machines or anything like that. Just by hand, no power tools.
I included photos. Hope they help.
