An Epxeriment With Gunzilla To Remove Tarnish/Patina, and Mild Pitting
Two months agao I submitted a thread questioning the idea of using Birchwood Casey’s Rust and Gun Blue Remover to remove pitting and patina from blades.

At that time I had already started the habit of wiping any blades that need cleaning up with Gunzilla. In the short period of time I’ve been using it for guns (as well as a corroded wiper blade on the minivan), I’ve seen good results, so I thought it was worth a try on razors. I originally started it with (what I believe to be a) Joseph Rodgers & Son’s, but didn’t document it.
In the time period since the above thread, I’ve tried the rust and blue remover with mixed results, and continued the Gunzilla on other blades. One of them is the Joseph Elliot’s “Perfection” from the above thread.
In that thread I stated that I did try some Flitz on the blade, but it should be noted that it was a very small portion around the small figure preceding the “P”, and not anywhere else. Everything else as far as cleaning up this blade is due strictly to Gunzilla (it’s even starting to show some mirror). I’ll probably try my best to finish up with Flitz as I’d like to get it mirror, but as of now I think the Gunzilla definitely did a good job considering all I did was wipe it on with my fingers, and rub on occasion.
