I've seen it done on straight razors and with mixed results. If you're not careful on straight razor blades there will be evident variations in the finish. I suppose the same risk would apply to polishing a top cap, base plate and handle.
As noted above AlanH81 is an expert polisher, and if you look for some of his posts displaying his talents you'll be impressed. IIRC he takes hours to polish a razor, and has all the pro equipment.
If I were to give it a try I'd grab a random SS razor, or another piece of stainless, and do a trial run before I committed to a razor I cared about.

I use my dremel with felt wheels and jewelers rogue compounds. Different colors depending on the job. If the piece has scratches I’ll start my first pass with black then move to red or blue. I use the dremel with the flex shaft attachment for ease of use. This was last weekends project. I’m novice but great advice on this post so far. Start practicing on an item you don’t value.

Looks nice and shiny.
Wasn't the Wunderbar I saw yours too?
