ditto, but I've found that applying oil, either mineral oil or cutting oil, to the blade helps produce a more uniform finish.
I can tell you that that one was done ........"by Hand"....:wink::lol2::lol2::lol2:
I use spray way glass gleaner.
Hi Bill,
This is a beautiful finish that you have put on the knife. Besides the spray, how did you go about putting a satin finish on it?
In my experience greaseless does not heat up nearly as much as polishing compounds. People usually keep a glass of water and dip the blades often to coll them down.I am not a authority on the subjet but I would stay away from a buffer with a straight razor. it is way too easy to overheat the thin blade and totally ruin it.
Yes this is a problem, this can happen when people have no experience, the buffing wheel is too big for the razor (6" used for 5/8 razor for example), or people want to remove too much material and hit the edge.I have also made quite abit of money "fixing " razors that were buffed and the edge rounded so badly that they had to be taken to a 220 grit stone to reestablish proper edge geometry.
