Unfortunately not. I've managed to accidentally do the same, lots of microscratches on my glass. Thankfully you really have to look up close or certain angles, but it's certainly upsetting.

Always check your magnet cleaner to make sure there are no sand particles stuck between the magnets, and replace the blade every now and again.

I don't use the magnet clean I use the handle one, probably should just replace the blade, not like I'm running out

you can polish out lite scratches with baking soda.


The worse part of the scratches for me, is that the glass algae start to grow in the crack, and I cannot get rid of it, as the razor only clean the flat surface. The scratches become much more visible with greenish algae on it. How do you polish with baking soda?

bring the water line below the scratch. make a paste with baking soda. will only work on very minor scratches.
i polish along with the scratch. google it
