What are you working on?

Now I'm working on this bottle of talisker storm and a padron 1926 Churchill :)

I like to put them on a micro fastener attached to a drill and spin them against some 220 grit sandpaper. The collar on the right has already been done. These little details make all the difference.

Nice razor! Looks like AJKennes collars. Did they have the little undercollars?
Curious, why would you need to sand them?

I stick them on a pin-vise and take them to the buffer a bit, such as the example below. This is nickel-silver prior to buffing.
Shine-up brilliantly fast.
Nice collars, I think!

Yes, I think that's the guy. They do come with the small inner washer too. The stamping process formed a small lip on the bottom of some of them that I sanded off. I put them to the buffer after they're pinned and they shine right up.

So. Think to give a go, hitting the buffer only using a pin-vise BEFORE you install!
They all come to a new dimension, FME. Wipe them off and a toothpick will get the buffer gunk out from under. Only takes a minute each. Everything is smooth and devoid of sharp edges.

After pinning, you just lightly buff the top.
No mess on your newly-pinned job! ;)

A pic of that very same collar, also a product from Austin.
Buffed and installed as-above..

Excellent work BeJay, really cool looking razor. I think the washers are what he calls "cup" washers, smaller than the other ones he has. I got some before and I absolutely love them, perfect size and shape for so many projects.

Yes! They are quite nice~!

I too am a user of those ver same collars. I think they are a good likeness for the old ones and I am far too lazy to try to make my own, especially when they can be had for a very reasonable price. I am pretty content to see all the fine work going on here, as there is none being produced by me, I can simply oggle yours.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try tomorrow.
