I have gotten my hands on some dirty (but promising!) old razors and cleaned two of them up on video.
The first is a Genco Easy Aces, minor rust, not terrible.
YouTube - Jockeys' Easy Resto Video
The second is a Dubl Duck Satinedge, some fairly horrible tarnish in an interesting tigerstripe pattern.

I use similar tools, but the procedures are different. At one point I was really worried that the tool was going to catch the edge because of the direction of the spin..
ok, both videos are up now.
Seems to be unavailable...you neanderthal!:w;):D
Its there now!
Might still be processing but the upload is completeQuote:

Will, good vids as usual. Nice duck! I just got a few new razors myself from an antique shop in Plano. The guy has a bunch of them, they all need work though. Have fun with those! :D
You have a real steady hand!
I'd worry for the blade though at that speed.
You could minimize your risk if you held the razor upside down for the pass on the back side
and always keep the shoulder of the blade on the right side.
Whoa. Never seen anyone actually hold the blade off of a surface while dremeling it. BE CAREFUL!! I hold down the blade on a flat surface with magnets holding it down as well. And the dremel NEVER spins into the edge.
Wow! Jockeys, I am very concerned about your hands. Not only are you spinning the wheel into the edge, but your doing it free hand!
Can you post finished pictures in this thread too? I'm interested in seeing the final results. And just making sure, but there was no rust on either razor?
Good videos jocky.
Love the picture of the pig in the tub ....:rofl2:
there was no rust after i was done. there was quite a bit before i started. i will try to take some pictures when i'm done, there were more razors and i haven't had time to totally finish them.Quote:

Oh, it is pronounced jenko (it was previously Geneva Cutlery Co. in Geneva, NY).

Can the Dremel be used for razors in worse condition?
