I just received my new dremel in the mail and I bought a cleaning and polishing kit to go with it. I sit down with eager anticipation, looking forward to restoring that first razor and realize I have no idea what I'm doing.

I go to trusty SRP and I search. There are a lot of mentions of dremels in this forum. Seems that they are broadly used (when hand sanding isn't) for restoration but I wasn't able to find any clear cut instructions on how to properly use them. I have zero background with this sort of thing. Never used a rotary tool. Not really that handy.

Soooooo for you folks out there that happen to use dremels for your restores I was wondering if you could maybe put together a little step by step guide for us newbs that would tell how to remove rust, patina and buff a blade using a dremel. What accessories do you use? What sequence do you go in, etc etc etc.

I would appreciate it massively and I bet it would save me (not to mention countless other noobs) a lot of needless mistakes, wasted materials and headaches!

Cheers,
Looch
