Thread: Handsanding howto

Hi...

I am new here.. and I only have 1 month of "straight" shaving under my belt. Both myself and my father have done some of this work on ebay razors and I wine corks have proven very useful tools indeed. I am also a great fan of 0000 wire wool... it is great for burnishing, especially with a bit of compound on it.

I have also found that grapeseed oil is a suburb lubricant for this type of job. It is pretty much odourless, will not rust the blade and stops the paper clogging.
