Yes, I sanded it very carefully and methodically by hand. I tried starting with 180 grit, but that wasn't getting the rust, so I ended up going down to 80 (I think) and working up from there. Lot of
work, but it came out well in the end.Last edited by maddafinga; 03-23-2012 at 03:25 AM. Reason: edited for typos due to phone keyboard.

I got this back from being honed on Monday. Very sharp! I've shaved with it three times since, and wow what a beauty! She sings just from a thumb pad test and the whiskers just fall away. I have a really tough beard, and it's gone just as smoothly as can be. I've only been straight shaving for a few months now, but I had my best shave ever in my life from this blade last night! I love it!
