Great tool Jimmy! Here's another example from another site of a similar tool that I use all the time to polish scales of all types before I hit them with the buffer. They work great ...last a long time...and you can pick up 3 sticks for around $5.00, and they have 3 grits on each stick.
You can find them at: STEWMAC.COM : Micro-Mesh Touch Up Stick

The problem is,even at that high grit,your abraiding the material,as he said,do not hit the grip screws as it will remove the finish.
I love the way he keeps telling potential customersou can get 50 to 100 dollors more for high polished grips at the shows
Thats all bunk.People in the know will pay a major premium for well aged Ivory over higely polished Ivory,IME
Interesting post tho jim.

I've found nothing so far that beats the micro-mesh.

That's the "problem" with antiques, if I have an old very nice razor and some "expert" tells me that if I sharpen it I will ruin its value.
