I've been trying to do some cleanup work on an eBay special (my first attempt) and I borrowed a Dremel from a buddy. Well, in working on the polishing, I left the buffing wheel in one spot near the edge at the heel for just a tad too long and lo and behold, a burnt spot appeared!

Just a word to the wise, when using a Dremel, keep the tool moving and lift it occasionally so as not to make the same mistake I did

I believe Bill mentioned in one thread to run to tool off the edge and keep it lubricated and I think Randy stated that heat will ruin the temper of the blade. Each of these facts I tried to adhere to, but since this is my first attempt, accidents will happen....

At least this is a practice attempt and not one that I'm especially fond of. I do know one thing, if I happen to get this razor to a shaveable state after that faux pas, it will be a lesson well learned!
