I have a tumbler i use to clean and polish brass shell casings before reloading. It is filled with corn cob media and i can toss a bunch of casings in it and plug it in and after a couple hours all the tarnish and powder residue is cleaned off. It basically vibrates and the media rubs against the brass and cleans it.
I picked up 2 Gillette double edge razors the other day and i got to thinking it may be a lot easier to toss them in the tumbler than to sit there with a brush and scrub them. Or at least it would do a lot of the hard work for me.
I would obviously change the media so there is no lead or powder residue present in the media, but is there a reason i shouldn't do this? Or has anyone tried it?
I suppose i could try it with one razor first and see how it works, and if it ruins it consider it lesson learned, but i am open to suggestions.
Thanks!
