Unfortunately I could not remove all the pitting especially towards the lower half of the blade's grind which was extremely thin. It would have bend like alu-foil if I tried to go any further. It's hard to notice on the untouched razor pics but the pitting, although shallow, was extremely bad. It looked like the razor was dumped in a glass full with acid.

    that is an amazing restore, was on my watchlist, took a moment for my eyes to adjust to even see the blade in the reflective shots, well done.
