Thread: Buffing by hand instead of buffing wheel or dremel?

AND with the slightest misstep can turn a razor into an incredibly sharp missile.
A lot of people make a work block with neodymium magnets in it to hold the razor in place.



In the top picture to the left is the drill jig sander that I was referring to earlier. To the right of it is a tapping block for flooring that you can get at any home improvement store. It has a stepped up piece on either side that you can lean the razor against to hold it steady. The second picture shows the lower step side which is the one I normally use. The third picture is just to demonstration of how to use it.
As stated don't try it the first time on your heirloom. It is better to make mistakes on one that is NOT irreplaceable.
