Thread: Polishing compound

What's the best formula and process to produce a mirror finish on a vintage blade? I've watched the video but I'm still kind of confused....

Any input?

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.

BTW - I don't think you can get a mirror finish with Maas as a last step. There must be some kind of mild abrasive in it. I followed it with a chamois buffing wheel dry and that really polished it up. Of course Bill would know better.

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,
