I agree with everybody else. COOL RAZOR!!
As deep as that etch is I doubt you'll hurt it with polish.
Shine it, hone it and SHAVE!!

It's in the mail! Yeh I know the razor is made in England but it still represents Canada as it was issued to the Canadian Military. Honestly if it was made in Canada... I think I would have to think twice about getting it I havn't heard much about great Canadian made razors. So far I have a French "Le Canadien" and this English 1918 Canada Razor seems to be a pretty good representation from the two countries who initially fought over this land?

gl with it...it will be a beautiful razor and shaver I am sure!
Anyways I'm off topic, Thanks everyone for the advice I'm going to get some polish and see where it goes, someone concerned over 1 spot that looks like it might be active rust but I'll have to wait and see when I get it.

I usually put tape over the etching or goldwash and just polish around it

Well - you learn something new every day!
I didn't get the military reference until I googled "M&D" and found it stands for Militia & Defence. There are also a number of knives from WW1 pictured on the web with the "m&D" logo, most with maple leaves rather than beavers, though. One article in particular sounded a double-note - a Thomas Turner sailors spike knife issued to the military with the "M&D" logo.
Regards,
Neil
