The Dremel learning curve
Well I broke out my dremel to give a final buff and shine to my blade.
Coated the buffing wheel in my blend of polishing paste and turned on the dremel to 2500 rpm.
When I turned it one I learned 2 things, 1 polishing paste travels very far when flung that fast and 2 beeswax melts at very low temp.
After I cleaned that up I just said to hell with it and kept going despite the beeswax melting. I then learned another thing. When then buffing wheel gets too close to the edge it catches and chips the blade.
Worse part is the buffing did nothing.
So I had to remove the chip in the heel about 1/16" square and rehone the razor.
I am now and forever more putting the dremel away. It may come out for scales and the like but not for blades.
What a learning curve.
