    Default Century/ Herms Germany

    Got a new to me razor today at a antique store.It says CENTURY on the blade and HERMS Germany on the tang as well as CENTURY in a diamond on the other side of the tang. Anyone know anything about these? It also has some rust but no pitting as of yet. What is the best way to get this rust off with oout messin it up?

    Heirloom blades are the best!
