Did some rust removal on one my straights that is worst afflicted. Used a Dremel with a wire brush and polish wheel. Then wiped of the polish and oiled them as @mr_houston suggested.

Next straight razor. This blade is in the best condition. Just did a light polish to get staining and surface rust off before oiling.

Areffa makes some of the best soaps I've used. Excellent choice! And you're supporting a Ukrainian small business.

Got some 30ml glass jars for soap. Fits better in my cupboard than the whole soap containers.


For straight razor restoration i bought a Dremel 3000 with a Workstand 220 & 2 leather strops (3x8").
