    Default Razor Day Spa Treatment

    These arrived today and they have to go to the end of the queue whilst I'm working on other razors.
    But it's still good to give them a bit of pampering until I get to them.

    Nothing special, just soak in a bath of WD-40 for a few hours, then hit them with the Dremel and a wire wheel.
    Then hand-polish with Mothers and spray with WD-40 again and put each razor in a ziploc bag.

    The first 3 pics are the vendors and the next few are the results of the "spa treatment".
    I always have a good variety of wire wheels, etc for this purpose.

    Uuuh nice! That's some good work you get out of your wire wheels, I was never impressed with mine and switched to greaseless compounds. Did you shave with them, yet?

    I like that Kaufmann! You do indeed get good results from a Dremel - I could never quite get the hang of it.

    Laurens, I won't get to shave with them for a few weeks at least.

    Let me know how it goes. My wire wheels are a little too harsh on my face lately so I've been considering the cutoff wheels... Wait, what are you talking about?

    I admit I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to be the ass to say it My wire wheels are quite soft, though, getting too soft to remove stubble/rust.
