Thread: Jewelers Rouge

I have spent hours on a restoration by hand sanding and after using the 2K grit paper the blade still shows scratches. I was wondering how to rid the razor of these scratches and if Jewelers Rouge would do the trick, or if I just need to spend more time with the 2K paper.

Thanks

Try sanding some more from spine to bevel, if the scratches are deep you probably should go down from the 2K after the scratches are gone you could move to Jewelers Rouge.

Sadly, those scratches appear to be from a very low grit. They will take ages to get out using 2000 grit paper. I would move back to the 400 range, then go back up to 2k, then use rouge.

also some black emery polishing compound will likely take them out.

Okay so I went all the way back to the beginning and started again and now I have a new problem. Everything looks great but now the 2K is leaving scratches of it's own how do I go about removing them?

You must be getting an awesome finish if the 2k is leaving scratches. I think next would be
Amazon.com: Wet or Dry Sandpaper Sheets, Silicon Carbide, 9" by 11", 2500 Grit, Pack of 50.: Home Improvement

or some of this???
