Thread: Cheap tools for razor restoration

A tray for soaking hones is easy as a trip to a junk shop! As long as the Rim is higher than the ridges. That way one does not cross contaminate the hones with grits.

Little pill boxes in a bigger box are great for spare parts:

A pill sorter is great for going through your boxes of Miscellaneous!

Vibratory brass tumbler available from reloading/gun shops. I use walnut first, then corncob media. You can load your media with any metal polish, I typically use Flitz.

Also, if you already have an electric toothbrush, keep the last worn brush for polishing, cleaning, de-grunging. Good with toothpaste, Barkeeper's Friend, etc.

Bump for the new restorers!

hair curlers as sanding blocks for the win!!!!

A firm sponge cut to size, wrap sandpaper around it....Sand.

I use a furniture pad ( the ones you place under heavy furniture so you don't scratch the floor) as a sanding surface. It has a slight rounded bowl with a a thick fabric on it..... Use it upside down and place sand paper on it on the fabric side.... Place the blade on it, apply a bi of pressure....sand away.

now I have a reason to spend time in that hair products isle now
