Right on Cris. I use a wire brush on my Dremel for the jimps.

If you ever decide to restore some really pitted razors.
This stuff works pretty good for getting the rust out of them along with these brushes with the dremmel.
They are not wire, their synthetic and quite stiff.
YMMV

I'll have a couple new aquisitions on show and tell later tonight. [emoji41] someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Stay tuned. Ha.

Ya think??? We call it RAD, Razor Acquisition Disorder. Some call it SRAD, Straight Razor Acquisition Disorder but to me it's pretty much the same. Most have straights & DE/SE razor's. I just make it simply RAD.

In today's aquisition I got a vintage Treet SE, and I already owned a modern DE, which seems to be based on an old Gillette design. Also aquired 2 straights.
