    I found a source for greaseless in Europe. The UK actually. Here's the link to Caswell Europe.

    Thank you, guys! I think I might go with the link I found.

    Considering I have 4 buffing wheels, which grits do you think I should take? Glen got excellent results with grits 80-600 and crox at http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...gold-wash.html, so I am thinking 100, 240, 400, 800 and hand/Dremel polishing with bottled polish to finish it up.

    Well, I regret to say I should not have bought those Maxdorf compounds. I opened and used only the 100 grit to see what's what, but it's taking away almost no metal at all. Yes, the polish wheel turns very black, but the few scratches it makes on the razor I am working on are more comparable to 600+ grit sandpaper. In fact, I could finish a worked blade with this 100 grit compound and be very happy about the result, but I intended it for grinding away pitting.

    I have tried for about 2 hours in total with very little result and will contact the seller for a refund, if possible. Seems I might have to go with the more expensive Formax shipped from England to the Netherlands as Maximillian suggested.
