Dovo restore

Received a pretty rusty Dovo yesterday to restore to shaving condition. Think it looks pretty ok now.

looks great Shaggy,
what did tyou use to clean it up with removing the gold wash ??
as I have a gold washed blade & with a bit worse rust & wo8ld like to try & keep as much as possible

Looks great. Yes what fo you use without removing the coldwash?

I hand sanded and polished all around the wash up to K2500, then with some diamond paste and a tiny feltwheel in a dremel like motor gently polishing, and finally a small buffing with a soft cotton wheel and some high gloss paste.

Real nice job. Looks brand new.

Awesome job on a beautiful Dovo!

Well done!!
