Hi Gents,
I really enjoy shaving with my vintage Gillettes. I thought that I would give them a bit of a clean up and polish. I clean them and sanitize them when I get them but haven't polished one.
I bought Flitz metal polish. I started with my Aristocrat Jr that I thought could benefit from a polish. I applied some polish to a cotton cloth and polished the doors of the razor and then buffed with a clean cotton cloth. Generally, the polishing did a great job on the doors.
However, the "blemish" or what looks like water spots on the Aristocrat Jr wouldn't come off. I tried polishing it twice using the method mentioned above but with no success. I would hoping to remove this sort of stuff from the doors.
I am not very handy with metal polishing or handyman stuff. Any thoughts on whether Flitz metal polish should remove these types of blemishes? Is there another polish or method to remove these types of blemishes?
Added a photo of a Fatboy that I polished and got really nice except one little spot circled in red in the attached thumbnail photo.
Thanks!
