Hi, how to clean and polish jimps when restoring old razors without any dedicated file? Dremel does not work for me. The popular files are of different size.

Brass brush works ok.
My bimetallic brush is too still. Depending on the amount of rust, steel wool with WD-40 may work. I also fold sandpaper in half and just go back and forth with WD-40. I don’t try to fit the paper between each jimp.
60 grit, Maroon, Dremel 1-inch spiral wheel at slow speed, or 600 grit Greaseless on a 3 inch wheel on a buffer.
You can get a brass wheel for the dremel that works fantastic.
Manual go with a regular brass brush - toothbrush kind.

Thanks to all, brass brush do dremel is on its way to me
I don't like using brass on steel because it can leave an amber 'fingerprint' behind. They do work though. I switched to stainless dremel brush wheels, works fine for me. Seems to last longer than the brass. Wear eye protection.
