Thread: Greaseless polishing compound?

ok, Here is what I ordered... Ouch, that hurt!
220, 400, 600 Greaseless compounds
Black, Brown, White, Green and Blue standard compounds
Glu-tite
Wheels: 4 spirel sewn, 1 sisal, 2 loose and 2 flannel (Might need more Sewn)
Drill Arbor Adapter
Cartridge Roll Kit
Felt Bob Kit
I also ordered 2 bars of Green Dialux from amazon as I was told that this stuff works great.

Now as long as I can pay off my credit card before the interest jump in, all will be good.
BTW, I also bought a 12K S.S. Naniwa stone used at a 25% discount including the shipping from overseas.
NO MORE BUYING! For now anyways. ha.

Thanks again for the help guys!

Now the wait begins. Thanks to all who told me what they use and for the recommendations of storage and such.

Good Start,Ha,Ty

Oh come on, it couldn't have hurt that much! You could have been buying more Jnats.

Personally I'd have gotten the 80 grit and skipped the (Black, Brown, White, Green and Blue standard compounds) due to what I've told you via email.

And the 1 sisal, 2 loose and 2 flannel wheels.

But as I've told you and so many others that 99.99% of Everything about Straight Razors is 'Personal Preference'.

Your CrOx is still supposed to be there on Saturday.

Have fun when it all lands

All those colored compounds were in a kit with the wheels. And the price was lower in the kit. So i picked it up too. I had forgot about the 80grit. Damn. I knew there was something. I'll order some 80grit next time as i know im going to need more spital sewn wheels. Thanks for reminding me. Better to have it and not need it as they say.

BTW, can someone tell me the sizes of these containers of compounds so i can pick up plastic containers to keep them in?

They do fit in one gallon zip lock bags.
Put them in, roll up to get rid of excess air and seal. They don't take up much room in the meat tray.

I have some large plastic trays with locking lids that the sausages fit in once they are cut in half. Basically once they are cut I wrap a damp rag around the open end, put it in a large ziplock and then into the tray. Both pieces can fit in the same tray, plus. The trays are approx 9x6x3 ish. There are many sizes out there. I cannot get them locally so when I go to Canada that is one of the things that is always on my shopping list. They are made for food storage but work so well for trying to organize razors and shop spupplies.

Here's a visual aid for you Jerry:







I hope that these help.

Thanks Roy.

I have to say I have used work mates for temporary work surfaces for a long time. They do a nice job of hold things, and an easy clamp base made from plywood should be easy.
