Rust!
I recently went on a trip to visit family over the holidays. The morning after I arrived I unpacked my shaving gear and to my dismay discovered rust on one side of the blade where the scales don't cover, from the spine to about half way down the blade.
Apparently the leather pouch I keep it in had gotten wet and I didn't realize it. Preventing it from happening again isn't the problem, what I need help with is how to remove the rust and what appears to be very slight pitting, and restore the polish to the blade. This is my first razor and although I haven't been at this for very long I have already formed somewhat of an attachment to it. So any help as far as techniques, tools and other quiptment needed, and any resources that i could check out would be much appreciated. The blade is carbon steel, if that makes a difference, and I have a dremel at my disposal if needed.
