    This is such a crazy idea that I have to try it, too.

    Rum, you may also want to invest in something called tuf-glide, its used for gun maintenance here, so I dont know where you could find it there. Once the blade is cleaned use the tuf-glide to seal the metal.

    Don't know if it will work but I might try this myself. My wise old Grandmother use to use Tooth paste to polish Silver, Jewelry, and other things. It does fine abrasives for removing stains from enamel. I like the MAAS but I need to try it just to see

    i don't know about the potatos - they are certainly one way to develop patina on steel, not to get rid of one.
    i think pretty much any metal polish should work, the ones for a specific metals like copper may be less effective or even ineffective, but the general type should work fine.
    i seem to remember threads from UK guys on products they've found there that work, so a bit of a searching the old threads may turn few things.

    Use one of this pilishig pastes and you will be fine. I personally really like Hatho, German one.

    Please, before you try the potato thing do it on a junk razor first. Plants have all kinds of chemicals in them. It may very well work but I wouldn't use it on a primo razor initially.

    I totally agree with the most recent post above... I'm not going to try the potato method in my right mind. This Puma cost me way over $200 a few years ago. She's an absolute beauty and shaves like anything. I can't risk anything with this razor. The risk factor is too.

    Oh my! Anything with the word 'gun' in it here in the UK, has got to be off limits. The laws around here are now so tight, you can't do anything of this sort unless you are a Field Marshall in the army!

    Lepeords and jaguars have spots, but not Pumas to my knowledge. They are closely related, though.

    That's not what you meant?
