Thread: Newbie to restoration

Hey guys,

So I got razor off the internet recently that was in worse condition than I had initially suspected. It has some pretty big spots of tarnish (though nothing that compromises the quality of the blade), and I was wondering if there was anything that would be more effective than just going to town on it with Maas and a cloth (which is what I'm doing at this point). Thanks in advance!

Yes !!!
You might want to visit the Wiki Tutorial section you are going to be overwhelmed with information.....

I don't really see any Wikis about removing tarnish.

Depends on the kind of tarnish (stain, patina, pits, rust, flakes or all of the above...) and where on the blade the "tarnish" exist... and then knowing all that, how far into "town" you want to go with the restore...

however... as we always say here...
"more help follows photos"

I will as soon as I find a camera.

Ok, I've done a bunch of reading and I've figured out what I need, so I guess I won't have to post any pictures.

Actually, I do have one two-part question now.

What is the chromium oxide compound that you put on the felt wheels for dremels and where would I find it?

Both questions should be answered here
Veritas® Honing Compound - Lee Valley Tools

Thank you very much!

That honing compound isn't as good as the stuff you can get from Chris L, but works fantastic for restoration.
