    If you want to spend the time, you could hand sand that razor. It will take some serious dedication, but it can be done. I also prefer the look of the horn scales. However there is a certain allure to having things original. Also there is nothing wrong with leaving the blade pitted. It does not need to be perfect.

    My OCD side just twitched when you said that.

    I'm joking of course but in all seriousness it can be a challenge to find that zen spot and let it go. Otherwise you can end up foiling a razor that had nothing functional wrong with it.
