Thanks for the thought Euclid440. I had no idea what cell rot was until you mentioned it now. But no, the remarkable thing is that the Tuckmar blade is very clean and free of rust. All of the original grind marks are perfect and shiny. . There is only about a 1/8" little streak of corrosion that I've seen several times on Silversteel which generally is not a cause for concern. The part of the bevel that had a tiny hole corroded through it was not inline with that corrosion. There was also no corrosion on the non bevel area, only in a small portion of the bevel.

I'm quite grateful for the small chip/hole in the bevel, as it helped me make the decision to remove more material on what seemed a very clean blade. As gssixgun points out, you don't want to be overzealous and remove a lot of steel for no good reason.

Took off about 1/50" to remove the hole in the Bevel. It looks considerably cleaner, and more consistent than before, all along the full length of the blade. Ran out of time to finish, will only tackle it this coming weekend.

I know from what I can see on my better razors with a 100x Carson scope what I'm aiming for. Think I'm now 80% there on this one.
