Sounds like a fun challenge. Who is the maker ?

I cant wait to post on this one!
I'm gonna have to get my razors out now.
Nice old razor, hone out the issues and enjoy the old friend...
I don't get the whole "Patina" thang! Those razors for the most part never had that patina when they were being used back in the day. I am sure my great grandpa would wonder why I was shaving with a dirty blade. Patina comes from non use. I want my razors to look like they did in use or when new. Just the way I am.
Slawman:shrug:
Patina occurs with the passing of time and is by no means an indicator of disuse. Actual patina - not active rust or pitting - protects the steel against rust.
If a razor has a nice patina, I tend to leave it and where possible, accentuate it by minor polishing. Partly because I like it and partly because I don't like to fix things if they aren't broken.
