I have some questions on razor staining, and how to resolve it.
Frist, I have some carbon steel blades with a dark stain/tinge to it. Would MAAS polish and a dremel buffing wheel take this out? I tried Brasso, but that didn't do the trick. Is the only way to get it to a shiny state to grind it with a high-grit mandrel? I'm concerned about warping the blade or damaging the grind beyond repair...
Second, I have a couple oldies with a wart-like texture on the blade. The surface isn't smooth, it's actually pitted. I suspect the only way to get rid of that is to grind them out. If I do just that spot, the surface would be uneven at that point. Is better to not mess with that? Is there any way to get the dark, black tinge off of those spots without grinding?
Thanks to all.
