Polished Captain’s Shaving Bowl

[SgtCrppls]

Was not exactly sure where to put this, just finished doing a complete polishing of my
Captain’s Choice Large Copper Bowl using Flitz, did not take more than 30 minutes

If you have any questions please just ask.

Yes, I have a question. Why? Just for looks or?

 

[BanjoCowboyMartaTobes]

Oh my, this is much nicer than my ketchup salt polish. Bravo, looks terrific!

Yes, just for looks. I like the things I use for shaving to look as new as possible.

Thanks

So did you do it by hand or?

 

[NorthernSoul]

You missed a spot.

(just kidding )

 

[SgtCrppls]

So did you do it by hand or?

Yes, lint free cloth and Flitz

 

[CCS]

Yes, lint free cloth and Flitz

Thanks. I wonder why they coat them with the waxy sort of product they do? Scott answered a question from me awhile back saying they had used something else as a coating but it didn't hold up. I sort of wondered why not keep them raw copper and let tarnishing begin. One could always polish it when it tarnished.

 

[MountainBear]

Going to apply wax or no wax?

 

[SgtCrppls]

Going to apply wax or no wax?

No wax, I like the bright shine of it

 

[Fedsbackhand]

What did you use to remove the coating? I had one of these but the lacquer started breaking down in the base of the bowl. Probably should have stripped and polished the bowl.

Nice job Doug.

I do prefer mine with the patina, though.

 

[rockviper]

Wowsa! That's shinier than my bald spot!

 

[CCS]

Nice job Doug.

Oh, he'll get the the "patina" back unless he continuously polishes the copper. It's what copper does.
