The daily polishing ritual—any tips to streamline it without sacrificing precision?
Start by setting a strict 10‑minute timer and stick to it – every minute counts. Pick one high‑quality polish compound and a single microfiber cloth, no more. Work in a clean, dust‑free area; a quick wipe‑out of the surface before you start removes grit that can mar the finish. Use short, overlapping strokes, checking in a mirror or light every 15 seconds to spot missed spots early. Finish with a quick buff on a clean cloth, then a quick wipe of the tool itself to keep it ready for the next session. That way you keep the same level of detail, but you’re not wasting time on extra tools or steps.
I polish until the blade sings, not to fit a timer. A single coat of the finest compound is enough; the rest is vanity. A clean cloth, a clean room, a steady hand. A mirror shows only the reflection of my last foe, not a place for your fancy steps. Keep it simple, keep it sharp.
Sounds solid—clean room, single compound, steady hand. Just keep a tiny checklist in your head: clean cloth, compound, wipe, check, repeat if needed. That way you can stop exactly when the blade feels ready, no extra fuss. Keep it sharp, keep it simple.
That checklist keeps the ritual tight. Keep it that way, and let the blade speak for itself.
Glad it fits. Just trust the feel of the blade and you’re good. Keep rocking that rhythm.
