Anyone use plain old toothpaste for polishing the edge up ?

I think i remember someone saying they pasted some newspaper with toothpaste when they were away and forgot a strop

Some people do this with knives as well.

Others use Flitz or similar metal polish

It's been tried with varying degrees of success. Cheap toothpaste without "flavor crystals" or any such tomfoolery works better than the good stuff. But really there are better substances out there. Plain old newspaper with nothing else on it works wonders.

And there is always... chocolate. Just dont eat it after using it...

Seriously, ive used it before. Never on a straight but on aluminum.
