buffing the handles out
Hey guys, I bought a 7 day set of shavesi (I think) razors, I think in the end I got a real good deal. I did post some pics here etc. and got the good advice of not changing the handles or tip shapes on them but cleaning up and then repairing the box.
I took another look at them, they are in great shape, no pitting or staining on first exam, looks like they'll polish up very nicely. the weird thing though, the handles on one side, the side facing the back of the box, are all still shiny (black synthetic of some sort) but on the front side dull. reminds me of vulcanite pipe stems. however it has been many years since I buffed out my pipe stems and I can't remember what I used, I seem to remember tripoli but wanted to check here first.
so how do I buff these out? I did a little of that maas on a rag, after three applications the 1.5" center portion I was testing it on did look shinier, but I think that chucking a buffing wheel in my drill press or even getting the buffer back on its stand would be a much better time investment. thanks guys

I know this info must be on here somewhere, but I just can't seem to get what I'm looking for out of the searches.
