Yes I bought the razor. This happened after I had gotten it home, but prior to any rubbing down with cleaners.

At the moment all I have is a King Cutter that I still need to hone with a rock from leevalley, polish with some knowledge of polishing that I have yet to acquire, and then resell it for a tidy profit.

Good luck,

It took about 3 petty nasty gashes on my thumb before I realized that sanding an old rusty blade requires me to use a magnetic holder for the blade while sanding it. I guess my mind drifts... I've sliced myself to the bone a few times while sanding very rusty old blades with no adverse effects at all except the annoyance.

As mentioned, the blood will clean a lot of dirt out, Hydrogen Peroxide helps, and basically just keep the slice closed using super glue (my doc's advice) and it'll be good as new in a week or two.

Yep I love that magnetic holder I got from Bill Ellis. It makes things safer and easier to work on.

Oh, man, I have a huge magnetic holder with super strong magnets. Never crossed my mind to use it as a blade holder for sanding.

Bill has these made up for sale at about $20 if I remember what I paid but on this blog of his he has the instructions for making your own. They sure work well especially when using a Dremel.
