So, I've been sitting here rubbing the tarnish and rust off my latest ebay razor until now, when I'm so fatigued I can't continue.

About an hour ago I had a thought. I remember back in public school we used to put coins in a solution of white vinegar and baking soda for about 15 minutes and they would come out shiny new.

I wonder if it could damage the steel at all to use as a preliminary step to the metal polish, thus saving a LOT of elbow grease. Does anybody know the correct measurements of vinegar to baking soda, also?
