    I have had very good luck with Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish. There have been times it would require several applications and a lot of elbow grease but my results have been more than satisfactory. Just be careful working around the edge as that edge, even if it doesn't feel that sharp, will bit you.

    In case you didn't know J.A. Henckels are probably the best German made razor out there, at least of the ones I've tried and I've honed and shaved with over 100 straight razors in the past 7 years. I have two Henckels and love 'em! If you are not experienced honing a straight razor send it to a pro, you'll be glad you did.

    Good luck and show us some before and after pics, we love pics here on SRP!
