Karve is the New Wolfman

The polished version looks even better, to me.

By the way, does it oxidize as easily as the original one does?

These look GREAT!

Thanks! Don't know yet. I imagine that it will tarnish pretty quickly since it's not sealed. I'll post photos when it changes.

Cino what did you use to polish that one? Seems like there are different methods folks are using, what did you do? Thanks!!

I used a wheel for everything. I started with black compound, then brown. I did the final buffing with white compound on a loose stiched cotton wheel. I didn't polish anything under the cap or the top of the base plate for fear of ruining the tolerances.

Can you please polish one for me?

It polishes easily, I used a dremel, cotton wheel, Flitz, and a microfiber towel. They are solid brass so there's no danger of going through plating, just go slow. I didn't polish the underside of the top cap or top of the baseplate as to not mess with any tolerances, just the visible parts

I'll make a go at it when mine arrives.

Ordered a complete razor with an E plate

Could a brass polish a cloth and good old elbow grease get a polished effect as shown here or do we have to break out the “power tools”

There is a post here, somewhere, by a guy who did a real nice job with steel wool followed, I think, by flitz. No electricity involved. I think it's in one of the larger Karve threads. I wouldn't think that brass polish alone would be effective; the abrasive is too fine.
