Thread: Questions about combining buffers and hand-sanding

There is a lot to be careful about with the greaseless as it can put a hole in a full hollow quickly. Keep water close by if you use is and remember that with a lot of junk razors, you can end up with a shiny, unevenly flattened, pitted, but usable razor.

I like to follow the 600 greaseless with hand sanding from 320 up to around 1200 grit. Then I hit the black emory compound or a grey bar, followed by green, white and then a rouge sometimes. For me, the key to getting a mirror finish that you can count eye brow hairs in is to make sure you get all the deep scratches out. I really have found that the Matchless bars work the best for me on the compounds.

Have fun.

I've watched that video before but will watch it again, and some others, before I put blade to wheel. Easy to forget basic things, until you've actually gotten in and done some of the work.
