Plenty of guys recommend MAAS. I bought some and cleaned up a couple of blades with it and they look really nice. I think that it works pretty well. But I have only used it on a couple of blades...
any suggestions on where to get it?
dawill,
I picked up my MAAS at a Super Wal Mart, on the cleaning products aisle. It is a tube, much like a tube of toothpaste, so you are looking for a gray box about toothpaste size.

It should be in the aisle which has Brasso and other metal cleaners.
A truly mirror finish takes a long time to attain. The process is very slow, so don't get discouraged. Also, Flitz is good too, but you can get more Maas for the $$.

Whatever you do, don't order it from Maas! It took 3 weeks to get the stuff. Parcel Post sucks.Quote:

I get Maas from alwaysbrilliant.com

Be careful of over heating your razor. You can draw the temper that way and ruin it.
Just my two cents,
