Rookie Razor Restoration Attempt
See this thread to see where I started:
http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...er-3-days.html
I did a first stab at polishing it during the Super Bowl. I used Brasso and steel wool. I taped off the etching because someone in the other thread said it was important (though Im not sure why it would be other than aesthetics). I have a lot of pitting. In spite of the picture below the pits look shiny ... I think the shadows of the photograph make them look like they're still a bit rusty. For the most part they don't appear to be just looking at it naked eye. I think the only way I can get this better is with emery cloth.
1) Should I try to get it better or is it good enough to not have to worry about the oxidation continuing as it is (I'm not overly concerned with aesthetics)?
2) There is some less severe rust spots within the etched area. What should I do about that?
3) Can someone recommend a set of stones that are reasonably priced that I could use to get the edge back (the actual edge is pitted)?
picture follows ... any advice much appreciated.
