Cool and slimy
The parallel cap is included so that people can truly appreciate the scalloped cap. ![Light bulb :bulb: 💡](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f4a1.png)

Nice work, what a shiny result!I polished the DSC V92 today with some Dursol Shine, a polishing cream recommended by quite a few people here on B&B and by Theo from Lambda razors. I’m not sure how the V92 is treated, but given that my polishing cloths came out very black, I assume that the razor is coated in some kind of varnish, which would explain the sticky handle I’ve been experiencing the last few weeks. It could just as well been oxidation, but my bet is that the brass was coated and that came off during polishing. Actually, each part turned black as soon as the Dursol made contact. The razor is cleaned and dried after each use. In fact, I dry it with a soft cloth each time and none of that black stuff ever came off until today.
I’m not overly concerned about whether I’ve removed oxidation, brass varnish, or some other polishing agent. All I can say is that Dursol Shine works very well and the razor does look much better now. Dursol shine can be used on pretty much any metal including stainless steel.
Thanks so much for that information. It was the first time polishing a razor with Dursol for me, and that black stuff got me worried a bit. Luckily, I didn’t use some expensive cloth. It’s good to know that this is to be expected.Nice work, what a shiny result!
Looking at the picture of the cloth I can confirm that the cloth I used always looked like this when I have used Dursol... no matter of the manufacturer or the razor being polished.![]()
Most helpful. I am still puzzling what is or was on @m949 's handle. I already suspected humidity, then machining gunk or machine oil, now at least the black cloth is explained. As you can figure, I didn't use Dursol ever.Looking at the picture of the cloth I can confirm that the cloth I used always looked like this when I have used Dursol... no matter of the manufacturer or the razor being polished.![]()
