Thread: My 20 peices of Rusty gold came today.

Taking a break this is going to take along time.
I was wondering how do i get the rust out of the makers makers with
grinding it away.

Try a search for Vibratory Tumbler Polisher or electrolytic rust removal. Your success may vary.

Enjoy the reading

Lotta work, you have the first week somting to do! do you have pics of each razor individually?

I should have took picture of each one before i started.
they where really really bad.
This is good learning for me.
They are of really nice steel though.
I would use them to shave once i finish i guess i learn
how to put scales on once i done getting the rust off.
I ben using my new dremel use it for 5 sec dip in oil.
make sure it's cool. use it 5 secs. so it's taking along time. With the cost of my new dremel and blades.
so far each one that's saveable has cost less then 5 bucks. now that i have idea how to clean rust off.
i get it off a few other blades i bought dirt cheap cause
they had a little rust.
Alot of them the scales where not savable.
Did manage to save some scales.
must of the scales just simply feel apart.
Now i will just have to learn how to make nice scales.

To derust:
Take each blade, one by one at a time and soak it in white distilled vinegar for no more than ten minutes at a time. Take it out of the vinegar and use a small wire brush on it or a toothbrush. Then use the brush with liquid dish soap on the razor. This will neutralize the acid. Rinse well and then dry the blade carefully. It may take a few tries the\\o get to the bottom of the rust but it is better to do so before sanding! And can save a lot of time.!

Look at this thread which I am involved with. Very little if any expense and sometimes great results for removing rust. You have nothing to lose but rust in trying it. http://straightrazorpalace.com/showthread.php?t=88370

I do have to say, you bought yourself a dang good deal of work. I hope it works out well for you. I will be watching for pics of your progress.
