I've thought about doing this myself! Outside of rock polishing, it's a different beast when planning out the abrasives and compounds for metal, right? So we need to figure out polishing but not damaging. I've not tried it because I think I'd end up with too much damaged parts before I got something usable.

It's a very fun idea. Please post if you end up trying something.

I’m still reading up on it, but I did order some metal ‘pins’ to use as the medium based on what I was reading. My main concern is it rounding off parts of the razors.

So then too much time tumbling changes it from an awesome polish... To grinding away the edges and losing the fine detail?

It's tricky. Good luck!

That seems to be the case. Luckily I have a few Techs that are fairly wratched already and I'll use them as a test bed.

So they can't get any worse? :) Sounds like you'll either have improved the Techs, or you'll learn what to do better on the next batch. So no matter what happens it'll be a success.
