One spotted Puma...

Any ideas on getting these water spots off? Tried greaseless compounds, Maas, spit, forehead oil...

Wow I would think the Maas & a Dremel would have done it but that's a tough one. Have you thought about an eraser in a Dremel? That's a nice Puma, I hope you can get it out. Good luck!

Pls do not use a dremel on that blade

I saw an article on here somewhere showing a Dremel with a pencil eraser affixed to a drill bit to remove staining from a blade. I meant very carefully but I withdraw my comment.

Has to be calcium deposits? WD40 gets them off chrome plumbing fixtures. Can't hurt to try.

Have you tried a fiberglass pen? I recently got one after Glen made a post about them. Will clean up discoloration without removing metal. However, it the spotting is from a different surface texture, it wont help at all.

Best of luck.

Have wanted to pick up a fiberglass pen. Just not sure where to get one aside from ordering online. I'm pretty sure I saw a video of Lynn using one on the tang between the scales. Great idea if can pick one up...will also give the other ideas a shot. Thanks all...would really like to get this kitty pretty!

Fiberglass pens Are great,But it will scratch the hell out of that blade and give it a matt finish.
Thats a nice razor,If the spots cannot be removed with metal polish,send it to a pro,have it polished and honed.

That's a nice Puma. Above all else, do no harm!

Sometimes just some Mothers Chrome Polish & a rag will get spots out. My very first Straight was a W & B Bow razor that was tarnished & that took it all off to looking like it was a new razor! You never know, ir might remove water spots.

Try applying some "PB Blaster" to the blade and letting it sit a few minutes before wiping it off. If you've never heard of PB Blaster, it is a spray on lubricant/cleaner similar to WD-40. I was a WD-40 user all my life until someone told me about PB Blaster. If I'm not going to use a blade for a while, I always wipe it down with PB Blaster. WD-40 will attract moisture over time, while the PB Blaster repels moisture. One more thing you can try is NeverDull. You can get it at auto supply stores. It is cotton impregnated with a polish.

I never thought of Never Dull, it might work also. I had some but it was so old, the polish inside dried up. I know it works excellent on aluminum, so it might work good on a blade. I always heard that WD-40 attracted moisture. I need to try PB Blaster.

CLR will remove water stains and calcium deposits. We use it on our chrome faucets and shower hardware. Try it on a very small spot first.
Good luck

That's a nice Puma. Please, like some said before, don't use a dremel... I do not say you 'will' regret it, but the possibility is quite high.

It's the rare leopard puma. Those spots are supposed to be there...

saxchops,

Unless these spots are driving you crazy, I would leave the razor as it is.

One of my favourite razors is a 'tatty Puma', and it shaves beautifully :)

Have fun :)

Try some white vinegar on a Qtip, might just be hard water spot, works on old Gillette double edge nickel plated razors.

Yeah, forget what I said about the Dremel!!!!! It's possele it could remove the etch if it is an acid etch......
