Thread: Greaseless polishing compound?

Well, I'll go out today and get my plastic tubs for the compound. I was just going to wet a rag and throw it in the bottom of the tub but if it has enough room for a container of water would be better. Its like I'll use this stuff only a few times a year so more water makes better sense. I'll get a real respirator too. I have enough medical issues. I don't need another one that for sure! On a separate note, I'm finding honing to be kinda tough on me because of my hands shake. Just a tremor right now but its enough that when trying to keep next to no pressure on the stone its not a solid even stroke. I'm getting it figured out and have got a few good hone jobs on a couple razors now but its tough for me and my hands and shoulders. And with a bad back, knees, shoulders, etc... I don't need more problems that for sure. I'm falling apart in my old age and I haven't hit 60 yet.

I read a few pages of the link to buffing above. I know of this stuff but it confirms I need a good mask and not the throw away paper ones. Thanks for your concerns.
