    It seems what can be safely concluded from this thread is that using a dremel can be risky business in inexperienced hands, and succumbs from a higher margin of error (when compared to hand polishing or compounds and bench buffing) that might result in the damage of your blade or yourself (I do hope for a clean recovery Scott).

    Yes. you sand up to 2000 grit, and then switch to micromesh pads or polishing compound.

    By super secret Ninja spells.

    Looking at the second picture, visualize putting the spine of the razor against that wood "notch". The magnets, rare earth, hold it in place. If I am working on a highly polished razor I will put a layer of tape over the magnets. The cutting edge of the razor holds the edge of the razor on the aluminum, flat. This way, you can hand sand in a direction other than parallel to the spine.
