Thread: My First Attempts at Polishing

I just finished my first attempts at polishing a couple of straights. Now, I realize that this is not a big deal for some but for me, a person who is absolutely inept at doing anything handy, its really exciting

The first razor is a Kropp which I picked up off of ebay. The first shot is the "before" picture and the second is the "after" picture. While it does not show in the pictures, I cannot believe the job that the MAAS did on the scales! Its like they have a mirror finish too!

The second razor is a Boker which I picked up at a local antique store. Unfortunately I do not have a before picture for this guy. Also, in my newbieness I managed to warp the scales pretty good but at least its shiny now!

For my first try I am very happy with the results. There is still some pitting on them which is visible in the pictures but I am very satisfied considering I did all of the sanding by hand since I dont have any tools. I am afraid to touch them for fear of getting fingerprints on them. Now I just need to figure out this whole honing thing....
