This is not ground breaking work, its all been done before and I am completely aware of that.

I don't really care to run those searches. I thank you for pointing out the potential for disaster; you raise some extremely good points and I don't argue with any of them. I'm not actively trying to anger people here, I was just pointing out that dremels can be a very useful tool. If you don't believe me, that's not my concern- don't use them for all I care. I'm not even trying to say its the best way. In the thread I posted when I finished this razor, I freely admit that it is nowhere near as good as the professionals razors. I am not a pro and I don't pretend to be. All I was trying to do was pass along some advice on a tool which has produced for me some good results.

It works for me every time. If you are careful, it can work for you too. Just passing on some information- don't worry though, I won't be making that mistake again.
Hey, dont worry about all of this, when I began starting to clean up razors I used the dremel, and had excellent results. I never had an issue with flying or broken razors, however at one of our meets I was showing off my collection to Holli when he asked how I cleaned them up, I knew he knew. From that moment on my outlook had changed, I either make those scratch marks go away entirely or leave it alone.
That being said, I already owned a dremel, and im sure I wrecked countless things before I touched it to a razor (or I probably would have wrecked a razor or two).
As someone else put it, we will all make our own mistakes.

On a side note I can see where gssixguns coming from, the search is there for a reason. If 20 people join the site everyday and fill up the topics with new /their/whatever techniques/questions without searching to see that topic has been ubercovered, not only will the newest new guys be reading this new thread via search - but potentially taking yourself and others away from usefull threads - and actually learning something.
Hope that made sense, just my POV, not speaking for anyone else.
