You just need a Dremel or any rotary tool and some Autosol paste or similar. I used stitched cloth polishing wheels or felt wheels, and use low rpm so the paste doesn't dry up.
It's a 10 minute job, 316 steel polishes really well.
You can probably do it by hand with some cotton and polishing paste.

FWIW, I asked James about polishing my polished bronze set. Below is the question, and his answer. I opted not to touch the set, as sure as I do I'll scratch it and be kinda ill.

OP...for $525 I would expect like new condition. I would tolerate marking where the handle seats against the baseplate but wouldn't be so keen on "normal use" scratches. To me it indicates neglect. Knock on wood, I've not scratched any of mine. A scrubbing bubbles soak and a soft toothbrush will clean them. A can of computer duster dries them. I try to avoid rubbing them with any kind of cloth, especially a top cap. Just my opinion.

Q. I have a polished Bronze set. Any suggestions on polishing to maintain? I've not tried anything as I'm afraid I'll scratch it.
A. No real advice other than keep it clean and dry when finished using it. If it's not a dark bronze, you should be able to use any non-abrasive polish that works with bronze, brass, copper etc. The abrasive stuff will scratch it up.

Gotcha guys already called my jewelry store and they told me that’s not a big deal they can lightly buff the item for $20.00
They deal with much more complicated metals and stones on daily basis and one of the things about stainless steel according to them is that is very forgiving.
So I will keep you posted on this.

Look up jewelry polishing cloths on amazon. They make some that have a light compound imbedded in the fabric. They are great.

Got it say even tho it was my first shave with wolfy I noticed one thing right away “smooth”
I’m very surprised since this one is .74 gap
My skin usually get some kind of irritated above .61 gap
I’m stoked !

Here are 2 custom Wolfman from my rotation, 0,61 DC brushed set and 0,67 DC polished set side by side in various states of assembly for comparison:

Every piece shows a difference albeit subtle, between brushed and polished.

That sounds like a good deal. You'd spend at least that getting all the polishing stuff you'd need to do it yourself.
