That's an awesome transformation. Only 4 hours of sanding!? Was it mostly grease as opposed to rust on there?

I can handle the restoration, and I've been wanting to get one of those a long time.

Amazing ! I think I would have given up on that razor - lucky for you you gave it a try ...

Awesome save, I also have one of these in similar condition I have yet to gather the balls to begin, lol.

Great work!

Most of the sanding I did was using dremel with a 1/6 hp motor and lots of attachments. It was pretty much all rust with very little grease. I did use greaseless compounds after all the sanding.
