    Fine steel wool. Smooth it all out, polish with Maas or similar. Back in business.
    Acetone is no joke!

    And don't forget to replace some oil on this pivot! Acetone removed it all! Apply a coat of rennaissance wax or car wax on the blade to avoid discolorations.

    Tom aka sharptonn might be right. Just some 0000 steel wool & polish 'er up. No disassembling!

    The same for the good brake cleaner… spray brake cleaner on a towel and wipe the blade, when buffing.

    Make some sanding sticks, glue some 1 & 2K Wet & Dry to a couple of coffee stir stick & sand between the scales, sand the outside or use the steel wool as suggested. Polish with a good metal polish.

    In the future, WD40 and fine steel wool, or some Crocus Cloth from Ace hardware for a satin finish, one sheet lasts a long time.

    Leave your razor open, to dry. I use an old thrift store, glass tray from a butter dish and set it open across the dish, so the blade is out of the scales, for good air circulation, after drying on a micro fiber.
