Speaking of hand sanding razors, I tried using the Dremel attachments identified as abrasive buffs. They look like small synthetic scouring pads.

They're rated at 180, 280, and 320 grit. They didn't seem to remove steel as well as hand-sanding does. After working through the sequence, I went back to 220 grit sandpaper and worked back up. Better results.

Has anyone had good success with these Dremel abrasive buffs? The razor I was using them on had fine pitting, and the buffs were shining the surface but not getting very deep into the pitting. Is there a restoration situation in which they are effective--for example, a razor that just has tarnish but no pitting?
