Need help ASAP! Cleaning old razors
Hey everyone,
I just acquired an old collection of razors that belonged to an old barber. He did take pretty good care of them, however, some of them are really old and there is some cleaning I need to do. My biggest problem which is actually not a bad problem at all, so I'm told, is discoloration on the blades. Its not pitting or rust but just light black and grey spots. Some of the blades have gold leaf on them so I'm trying to be careful with them. I was able to get "some" of it off just using alcohol but I don't know what to use to get the shiny and new. Please if anyone has suggestions, and I'm sure someone will, let me know asap. I'm thinking of buying a Dremel and some polishing tips to really get them clean but can anyone tell me if theres something else that would work better or something else I should try using? Im worried that maybe a Dremel might be too hard on the blades? I attached a picture of one of my blade that has some of the markings on it for you to see what I mean.
Thanks for all your help.
