Hi everyone.
I read here that someone is using Metal polish on newspaper to do a final polish on their blades.
They had a reply saying basicaly yes it can work!!!!!!!!!!!!
So beeing a cheapskate, I tried it on a razor that gives me a shave, but, not a very close shave.
I must say that my home honed razors only give me an OK shave compared to my purchases and razors honed by Steve at invisibleedge.
I folded a side from The South Wales Evening Post (I doubt the rag has ever been put to such good use before, well except for emergency toilet roll duty) and put a pea sized squirt of Peeks metal polish on the 4x 12 piece of paper, placed it on my coffe table (yes I live dangerously) and stroped the razor 30 or so times upon the cheapskate ??K hone
It did polish the edge, the edge now pops arm hairs when run up my arm, even high up the hair not right at the base of the hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
I'm nearly, almost, not far off catching up with Steve(invisible)..........well I can dream
Thanks to whoever mentioned the idea
I'll tell you all if the shave is any good off it.
