im curious now, will this make engelbert humperdinck sound better than tom jones tho?I haven't had a good laugh like this in way too long. Enjoy!
(since receiving my $1,200 Lie-Nielsen block plane, and being a fastidious hand-tool aficionado, I shall attempt this soon by hand, and will report back with the results)

Shaving+marker = less stray laser light. Less stray laser light = more accurate tracking. More accurate tracking = less error correction. Less error correction = more accurate reproduction. More accurate reproduction = It sounds more like the recording was intended.
Makes sense to me. I used to have a badly scratched CD of Elton John’s “Madman Across The Water”. And one time I was listening to the song “Tiny Dancer” and you could just hear the CD player trying to deal with all the scratches. It played, but due to the error correction and interpolation, the player was guessing on a lot of the 0’s and 1’s. One of Elton’s lyrics literally was changed to “Hold me closer Tony Danza”.
