Thread: Dremel

I find that I get the best results using a rouge set I got from the frei and borel web site. I can turn a blade into a mirror right quick using a felt wheel and muslin wheel. You got to be careful with the dremmel though, one false move and your blade is toast. This past weekend I was working on a eboy special a Beau Breumel and my son happened along and hit my arm while I was working on the heel of the razor. Well you know what happened. I'm now missing a one inch piece of the blade. Maybe I can sell it on eboy as an almost mint razor hmm.

I now know exactly what you mean. I just revieved 2 ebay razors today, one needed major work and the other just a touchup or two. I decided to buff the one needing a touchup with my dremel and polishing bit. Weellll I now have a little notch in the front of the round blade. A little semicircle just flew off. It is above the edge so I think I can still use it but boy am I disappointed. It happened so fast I still don't know what happened. Live and learn I guess. Should have started with the one needing major repair.

And talking about happening so fast you don't know what happened everybody don't forget to use GOOD eye protection when using that dremmel because if a shard of the blade flies off it will usually head for your face. The piece that flew off mine bounced off my goggles. I know eye patches are sometimes in vogue but you don't want to look back and say why wasn't I wearing protection. (no wise cracks guys)

That is true. The piece from mine hit me in my hair
