I use a small (toothbrush size) brass brissle brush. It works great for me. Use a gentile but firm stroke with mild to medium pressure Using the metal polish of your choice. I use wright Silver Cream for example and get very good results. Do not use this type of brush on silver or gold plated razors.
Good luck.

I use the regular scrubbing bubbles with an ordinary toothbrush. The dark spots are troublesome, but I've found that they are vulnerable to thrust attacks. I tap the spots with the toothbrush, straight downward, the soft bristles acting sort of like tiny chisels.

Hi Dear Friends,

My friend told me that he is doing that with % 10 vinegar put it razor in it wait some minutes then take it. . Also i tried that is very useful for cleaning these kind of items.After these solution you can try with small toothpaste . im cleaning with toothpaste and putting some vinegar on toothbrush . Finally very shining items.

Good luck with your work.

I find that scrubbing bubbles followed by toothpaste worked wonders on my NEW. Also, if you get one of those tarnish-removing cloths that they sell in jewelry stores, that will probably help more than anything.
