400 then 600 is what I use before shifting to the Polishing wheels

A mutual friend of Jimmy's and mine was a master at polishing with the dremel... He amazed me with what he could do with one on a razor....and I am pretty sure that is the guy that broke the...

As you can see in the Workshop forum there are tons of threads with broken razors from Dremels...

There is a catch to this though, Dremels are usually in inexperienced hands hence more accidents...

Sorry I maybe didn't make that more clear, but yes, in between every stage of the polishing compounds, after I finish with the greaseless those have to be cleaned off before progressing to the next...

I personally am just not a huge fan of Dremels myself, I rarely use mine on razors.... I am just not sure how you could "load" the greaseless compound on one, it really requires some torque to do it,...

I guess I better make this really clear here too, You only need one buffer....
I am admittedly a lazy SOB that hates changing wheels, and I have the room to do this, but I don't want to even count...

Do fingertips count ?????? :w :roflmao:roflmao

Actually although it might be Wiki worthy I would really prefer to not put it there until after the rest of the other Buffer guru's have some time to read it and add more tips... People like Lynn,...

The greaseless compounds are a setup all in themselves they are a glue base and melt onto the wheels.. You would have to have some torque to "load" the wheels so I would guess that they are a buffer...

My wife refers to the shop as "The Glen House"

In fact I am really never in the "dog house" but I do get told to go out to "The Glen House" quite often when I get on her nerve.. :)

You didn't think I was going to leave ya hanging did ya????

Here are some pics of the finished razor, again the camera just can't seem to catch the sparkle of the real scales...
I used a Black...

These normally have different names depending on the brand you are using but pretty much start at some type of Emory and progress up in grit to some type of very fine Rouge..

I change my wheels...

I use the Fomax compounds and I start at 80 grit, how long you stay at 80 works pretty much the same as handsanding with wet-r-dry does.. You stay at the lower grit until you have clean steel, or as...

I built this around one of the support beams in the shop, it is 6'x8' 3/4" particle board framed on a 2"x6" and supported by 4"x4" posts..I can walk across it so it is pretty solid... I still haven't...

I decided to take pics of this W&B "American" Razor as I tried out my new buffer bench...

These are the before pics...

A nice 7/8 + blade with almost null for hone wear and a tiny small bevel...
