Hi all, I've been trying to figure out how to clean off tarnish or water-marks (as opposed to rust) on some vintage razors I've come across. Basically I've only seen grinding/dremel-type suggestions. Is there no way to use some cleaner, like you would on a steel pans or knives? I'm thinking something like baking soda, vinegar, windex, bar keeper's friend, etc. Would these damage the blade?

I've looked around and haven't found much info. Maybe we could add a section for such things in the restoration or maintenance sections? Essentially I'd like to polish or clean tarnish, with a list something like:

•*CLR - Removes some staining but causes severe discoloration on stainless steel.
•*Windex - Great for achieving a nice shine, though not recommended before storage unless you treat with oil after. Also, won't remove tarnish, rust, water stains, etc. Only good for cleaning off dirt and oil.

Thoughts? Could we get something like that together?
