Need advice for removing light scuffs, not deeper scratches from scales.
Do you wet sand? Polish?

It depends how deep. If not bad 1000,1500,2000,2500 grits wet or dry. Then polish with Mother's.
Works on horn, bone, celluloid, hard rubber.
This is what I use, found at Sally's Beauty Supply.

What are the scales made of? Is this a valuable razor? Does it have sentimental value? Or, is it a day to day shaver?
I would use different approaches based on the answers to these questions.
Your welcome,,, Sally's is a treasure of tools for buffing leather, plastic, glass, metal and just about anything that needs buffing.Quote:

How about a pic of the problem?
Depends on the depth of the scratch. 1k or 600 wet and dry is a good place to start if a good metal polish will not remove the damage, 600 can easily be polished by 1k and polished by metal polish, 3M, Maas or Mothers.
I like Novus, for scales. It will put a final polish on most scales, plastic, celluloid or horn. Novus comes in 3 grades, depending on the damage.
Just like the blade, start with the least evasive and go from there. (In a nut shell) [emoji57]
On all my scales I use sanding sponges. They come in grits from 1500 to 12,000.
White buffing compound can also be used.
i thought that was acetone :rofl2::rofl2:Quote:
