    don't soak the m in bleach too long if you go that route, the blades will turn black

    You've got some nice ones there..especially that savage..I've been looking for one of those lately. Congrats.
    Those should clean up nice. You can just use a simple metal polish like Maas or for myself I use Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish. Be sure and post em again after you've got them cleaned up

    Great find! I use Flitz polish and it works as good as the Maas or Mothers mag polish. It will take quite a bit of elbow grease to remove the surface corrosion. I am a big fan of W&B straights. They take a very good keen edge and shave like a dream. All are worthwhile investments. Keep us posted on your progress. Also, welcome to SRP.

    Very nice snag! They should all clean up nice. I recently tried Mothers Mag on some of blades and was amazed how well it works. The Bokers will give you a very nice shave as will the Wade & Butchers, you'll enjoy all of them I'm sure.

    well w&b are a dime a dozen, the savage on the other hand...
    now that you've practiced with the w&b may be you should tackle that one.
    and btw bleach shouldn't even appear on these forums, that's not something you want in contact with steel, good ole mechanical abrasion with sandpaper is what you want to do.

    thanks i am starting the savage i have alot of pitting to clean up on it, as far as what im doing i think its been said a lot around here and debated but im hand sanding proggressing from low grit to higher i still need to get more paper thuough, not because i dont have a power buffer but i figured if i can see what each grit does by hand and what progression i like i would know what compounds to get when i use a buffer exclusively, in other words im walking before running. its a pita to do all by hand but i know why i have aot scraches on my blade. i think about using a tumbler maybe ill toy with that idea more, im also working on scales for the two blades so its a long project.
