So I haven't been as active lately because I've been experimenting with hones and greaseless compounds and pastes. And beating Fallout 3. Oh, and helping CPS save the children.

Anyway, this is the before and after pics of my greaseless compound experimentation. I don't have a buffer, but I damn well want one now. I think I could get a better finish with a full size buffer. Or at least 6".

Process used. On one side of the blade I used the 180 grit and then just blasted it with bristle discs and did a quick polish. The other side I did a 180, 240, 400 grit progression, then did a quick polish. It can get shinier, I just didn't feel like the razor was worth the extra time. But the pits were deep, not sure if I can get better than this without removing more metal than I'm comfortable with.

For the time spent, I'd say the results are pretty damn good. And the best part is no hand sanding.
