Thread: Destroing a beautifull rasor

yeah thats happened here before in the same way. broke a carbo-magnetic griffon and an old cel-rot king cutter. i've created a jig to avoid dremel damage because i find it very handy for restoration... that being said, i dont use it unless i have to.

The last razor polished, I put a piece of electrical tape on the end just encase and it worked out ok.

Without the help of a Dremel (another power tool was involved) I did completely destroy a beautiful 7/8 Kropp.

Oh man that is terrible! One of my first power tool restoration razors I set next to the buffer to apply more compound and it fell off landing on the edge of a plane. It was destroyed utterly and now the tang serves as a mock up piece for scales.

when using Dremel it is important to hold it absolute perpendicular the blade , and to watch out not to get too close to the end .
At the begining i started up by hand the restorations, but it is 2 working shifts of 8 hours job , and the hands was hurting me .I am a 198 sm guy and a 128 kilos ex pouer lifter , but this job whith hand buffing , could destroi your hands , not to mention that if your a seller and restore blades for money , if you did it for few days on a blade , you risk to die in extreme povroty from hunger .
Because of that i only restore my blades to a workable state , i never insist to make them absolute free of small dots and shiny , but this time i was greedy and became slappy so the result was aufull .I will never forget this piece of blade , flying next to me .
Some sugestions for absolute safe polishing device for rasors . I dont think that there is such thing but you never know .
Im going crazy - this was a 20 mm american style 90 degrees angle beauty , absolute the same qwality and steel as the Henkells Friodur .I have some Henkells 72 , 77 and the steel is magnificent - the edge and the shaving , are only competitive whith my old 5/8 Bismark - Silver steel or my Exello Solimgen . I am going to die out of shame and regrett.

Using dremels like that is not done by people restoring razors for profit. At least, if you're doing this for money, you can buy better tools.

Live & learn, just broke the blade on my Bengall with a single speed Dremel. NEVER AGAIN!

I am not a seller , just a fan and colector . But what did you mean with better tools . Is there some kind of bufing that is safe to be cosidered as beter . Some ideas .....???

Hand buffing,,,,,I use my hands to polish, clean my razors,,,, if the task is beyond what I can achieve with my hands, then it is sent to a professional to restore. I have managed to polish all my razors by hand,,, except 1 that I damaged,,, with a Dremel, the very first razor I owned,,,, it had to be sent to a professional to fix.

Use the Dremel if you want to,,, only you can weigh the "risk vs reward" on your razors.
