yup that works 100%, 100% of the time :beer1: if you are trying for dueling scars and unique razor designs.
i used my dremel just the other day... i had a fabric roll of 7 razors that got damp at one point. all 7 razors had a spot of red rust right where the shank touched the fabrice... the spots were small and near the spine a little polishing did not helps so i used a brass wire wheel on the dremel to clean it up and out of the jimps. polished more, oiled the blades dried the roll in the dryer and slotted the razor back... no huge deal.

It is a fact that misusing a rotary tool can be hazardous. The same can be said about shaving with a straight razor. Treated with respect they both can be wonderfully effective tools.
I've been using my dental handpiece for some things and had no problems. However, I use it all day to make porcelain crowns, so I'm really comfortable and skilled with it. Also, it's got a foot pedal control, and after as many years as I've used it, it's just automatic.
I don't use it for sanding though, just polishing and the like.
Full speed ???? 30000 rpm ???? Way to cook a razor ! I strongly advise against this.
I used a dremel with flap sanders 120 - 400 grit for a majority of my restorations in the past but it is not something to be recommended to newbs with no experience in using motorised abrasives.
You must have respiratory & eye protection. The rooster tail of fine particles off those things is huge.
You must have a magnetic or similar jig to hold the razor flat or risk the flap sander spinning the razor over & taking a chunk out of the edge. There is always a risk of this with any freehanding with dremels e.g. if doing the top of the spine unsupported.
You must have cold water on hand to cool the razor or make very light infrequent passes.
The process is actually not that fast compared to hand sanding but saves on RSI.
