Also, you'll see on the blade surface that it is very irregular, because the dremel has worn the blade very unevenly.
Not to discourage you, but this is really not the way to restore razors, because you'll just turn a smooth surface into a bumpy road.
The scales are nice, and your enthusiasm is great. But the main lesson from this restoration should be that a drum wheel on a dremel is a really bad way to restore a razor and a really good way to destroy one.
If you want to use your dremel at all, use flap wheels or wire brush wheels.
I did not elaborate in my description, but the wavy pattern was made with a grinding wheel :thinking: I was too ashamed to admit that. The sanding drums took out a lot of the damage I did, but not all. The difference is in the stiffness of the wheel: flap wheels, wire brush wheel and my handmade sanding drums allow some flex, leaving less of a scratchy pattern. I will experiment some more, because I have a bunch of junk razors that can take a beating.
