    Default Dovo restore

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

    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.
