It can certainly help top while away a last Saturday afternoon, Ed. You should try it on an older looking razor, you can get some nice effects happening. I like some razors to LOOK old, not be 'tarted up' and made all shiny...

PS, I have a very nice old key to my back room that I found that's got really nice patination; a going over with a sander (very lightly; to take off he orange rust) and a soaking in olive oil did wonders...

We are certainly not on opposing sides with regards to age, and showing it, I don't really have a razor that I want to experiment on though, and I don't want to get rad so I will just have to wait for my lack of polishing, and in fact cleaning other than a wipe with water disperser and stropping to do its magic.

I've got RAD all figured out, one needs six straights and a DE. The straights should be varying (full hollow, wedge, frameback, etc).
