Anyone who’s seen my SotD photos showing my really rather shiny Rockwell 6S will realise that this is very possible indeed. I’m happy to share my exact methodology with anyone who has a Dremel and wants to give it a go or I will offer polishing services for a small fee. I was thinking £20 plus postage to and fro? Even with a Dremel it does take hours and a fair bit of material use.
I will also speak to one or two of you individually by PM to offer my own R6S as a loaned out, inspection model so you can attest to the work done.
I guess most folk here know what I’m like by now: long history of mental health issues so I’d not want to be having any more than one whole razor to do at a time. That way I don’t crash and burn and end up spiralling out of control down the evil helter skelter of doom. I am honest but not that hard working….
The other great thing about having a shiny R6S is that you can pair it up with the plethora of after-market shiny stainless numbers out there. A barber pole for your R6S, sir? Ooh, suits you sir! Hey Bulldog? Ooh yesss. Here’s mine with a RazoRock thick bar handle - a modern interpretation in stainless steel of Gillette’s iconic common bar handle of NEW fame:
I must twiddle my Radio Knob on it soon.
You like shiny? I make shiny happen.
