removing water spots

[raffijian]

Can anyone indicate what is the best way/method to cleaning or removing water spots on razors?

I don't mind using elbow grease but wondering if there is a more useful method.

Thanks.

Scrubbing bubbles is made to rid the world of water stains. :>

What may look like water spots could be thinning chrome.

What razor and what material is it?

Chrome Gillette's. Flare-tip and a couple of butterfly design Superspeeds.

I have some sitting in my collection that I've never gotten around to using so I want to clean them up. I always use Scrubbing Bubbles but wondering if there are other methods as some can be a pain to get rid of.

Thanks.

Not a big difference for cleaning purposes, but most Flare tips/Superspeeds are nickel plated.
Flitz or Maas will clean up water spots.
If you want to try a home method, then a solution of 2 parts white vinegar to 1 part water and some rubbing with a cloth should also work. If the spots happen to be tarnished brass where the nickel plate may be worn, then the vinegar will actually darken them.

Colgate toothpaste works great.

If the finish is especially rough I mix prophy paste with colgate toothpaste and clean the razor with a soft toothbrush.
