HI. apologies if this has already been discussed somewhere else, but couldn't find a thread on it. I've just bought a new Rex Konsul. I love it, but it does create a lot of drag on my face. I have the standard finish and have been wondering about polishing it. Since i live in the UK< I'd have to send it to Mat in America and he'd hthen have to post it back, so it would not be inexpensive to do this. I've heard a few people on the forums say they polish their razors and inparticular the Rex razor to buff off the sharp edges, smooth the cap etc.
I have no eyesight and I'm really not sure how easy it is to do this by feel alone. Certainly I have a very good sense of touch, but I'm not sure what tools are required, whether any shops in the UK would do this for example I know Exec shaving restores razors, but any others? What do people think? I'm assuming I'd just have to polish the cap and safety bar. If it's just a case of buffing with a cloth for a long time until very smooth I'm completely fine with that, I just need to know what to get. If it involves lots of diamond paste like stropping a streight razor, that might possibly be trickier.
Any thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks.
Ed.
