Shavemac Handle Scratch Removal

[coldcoffee]

Hello! I have a relatively new shavemac handle and was using a marble bowl with it.

While whipping up lather, I scratched a part of the handle. Is there any way to remove it?

If it is really bad and bothers you, perhaps contact Rudy Vey to see what he can do for you.

If the marble bowl is rough enough to scratch the handle, I’d be more worried about what it’s doing to the hair fibers.

Here you go, they are not super deep. I am wondering if I can just use a polishing compound to get rid of them.

It's this bowl which is very highly rated

Now I am thinking I should've gotten a shallower bowl

YMMV, but I’d never let an expensive brush anywhere near that bowl. It’s basically sandpaper.

I agree

Highly rated on Amazon is like highly rated on AliExpress.....it means nothing. If he had checked verified reviews and 1*, he would have seen this "Awkward to use, rough interior will damage your brush.". It was one of the first negative reviews that popped up.

That bowl looks like a torture device of some sorts not for shaving use.

I would not attempt a repair of the brush myself. You will up doing more damage or remove the shine. Have RV (or ask Bernd) do it or live with it.

Asked Bernd. Never buying amazon stuff again :-|

Amazon items are fine for the most part. You just have to weed through listings and reviews.

Certain things I won't touch on Amazon, regardless of cost or ratings (camping, safety, auto parts). For the most part, stick with name brand stuff. Obviously a shaving bowl wouldn't fall into name brand items but you are more likely to get a bowl designed and tested by wet shavers if you buy from a shave shop. @Captain Pre-Capsize bowls comes to mind. All his stuff is tested by forum members before they hit the market.

You should be able to buff it out.

A tiny dab of metal polish and a cotton wool ball should fix it admirably.

I doubt it will be affective but you may try it.
It works very well for light scratches on plastic watch screens.

Folks just an update. I bought a 3M paint scratch removal product and that did wonders.

All visible scratches are gone. Leaving it here for anyone who has similar issues.
