Rubbing compound polishing

Ok, I think I've gotten alot smarter when it comes to this subject, thank's guys!

Anyway I went out shopping earlier today and I got the following:
A Dremel-like machine, the construction is the same but it's way cheaper.
The felt polishing wheels
Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound the exact same as kaptain zero showed earlier, the only one available, it is the regular not the premium.

I think this will be good for me as I don't plan on getting too many older razors, I only bought them (cheap) to practice on honing so I don't ruin my new razor. But then I says to my self "Hey, since you already got the razors why not also polish them up and why not also use them?"
So now I'm just of to polish the beasts and turn them into beauties, I'll post some before and after pics later if I succed;)

And Thanks again guys!

Mmmmm.... much better... good work man... those Swedish razors will make good shavers after a good honing. Let us know how the shave goes.

I'm still trying to get a nick out by honing like a maniac on the one to the razor to the left. And the other one is a wedge that has a warped blade as I found out recently. But I hope to finish the one with the nick soon.
