Recently I've started to begin working on some of the more challenging razors in my collection, ebay and antique shop refugees, and to that end I'm looking to expand the number of products at my disposal. I've done a lot of research on the subject online, looking at different suppliers and such, but I'd like to hear from the members here what products they wouldn't be without in their workshop.
I've stumbled on a few keepers already: I really like Pikal Care Polish ( I think it's better than MAAS and similiar products I've tried so far,) Ballistol, Renaissance Wax and Renaissance Pre-Lim, Biox Conservation Gel for rust removal, Hut Crystal Coat for finishing scales, Norton 3X and Micro-Mesh MX for blades and Ekamant Woodturners Abrasive and Micro-Mesh for finishing scales.
I'd also be interested in what hardware everyone is using. I have a coping saw and a hobbyshop jigsaw (very small, used for detailed inartsia, can't cop with anything bigger than knife scale blanks though so I'm looking for a good scroll saw. I have a Dremel 300i but no flexshaft (I'm thinking of getting a Foredom set) and finally a Dremel drill press.
So, does anyone have any suggestion for alternative products, or maybe some tips for what I'm using at the moment?
Any advice much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Alex
