    Thumbs up [SOLVED] Refreshing Lettering on Scales

    Years of usage make "beausage", but I'd like to refresh the lettering on the scales of several of my razors (see example, below). Can I assume that there are pens out there that can be used to do the job? Recommendations?

    Wouldn't this little fella look so much better, with his name "standing tall"?

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    There is a thread here some where that tells how to do that. I don't think its a complicated lengthy process just can't remember what it is. I need to find it (when I get time) because I have a Genco Easy Aces I'd like to re-do the lettering on.

    JB, I used RubNBuff on my Spike and lots of others. Works easily in hot-stamps and tang-stamps as well.....

    My Hobby Lobby carries only the silver and gold.
    I have some ruby en-route from Ebay as well.
    Takes a tiny bit. Mine is out for delivery at present.
    If you would like, I will add a demo on how I like to do it tonight...
    The silver is great too!

    I'd like that... and I'm sure I speak for others, as well. Thanks!

    I've used a wax type paint for a lot of things. Like rub n buff, but stiffer. Close to a crayon.

    I use the rub and buff but ive been wanting to try the wax like Outback uses. Where do you find this wax stuff Mike?

    BTW, Please do give a thread on how you use the RubNBuff Tom. Maybe you do it differently than me.
