No thanks required - just post some pics when you're done.

There's a place in hell for people who do that.

And nothing to shave with but cartridges and butter for shave cream :<0)

Well nobody hold back. Tell us what you really think.

Here's after another soak in Evapo-Rust and about 15 minutes of 1000 grit sanding with some WD40.

The razor will go into a soak now for a few days in some Neatsfoot Oil to re-condition the scales.

The razor has revealed some pitting, which is a disappointment, but after the neatsfoot, will go 2000 grit, 3000 grit and then final polish with some crox and WD40.

I don't have any power tools, would prefer to stay hand only, so any suggestions to get rid of some of this pitting, or any other suggestion would be appreciated and I will use after the Neatsfoot Oil.

Well I use 220 grit sandpaper. Use any standard kitchen sponge dry and folded in half. Wrap your sandpaper around the outside and go in one direction only up and down most will tell you works best. See how deep the pits are, work your way back up the grits.

I rarely drop below 400. YMMV The backing the sandpaper helps to keep lines straight, I use a cork and some pieces of wood, depending on where on the razor I am sanding.
