Thread: First e-bay razor :)

Its pretty clear that there was pitting in the center of the blade. If you polished out the black and pitting, and did not see any evidence of layering, then it is not plated. Simple enough. =)

I polished out the black that was there mostly by using a cloth and some Autosol. However what remains could not be polished out by hand or dremel it seems. What can I use to get rid of it? It seems at a macroscopic level to look like residue from something which was stuck to it (think peeling off a really sticky sticker), but under the scope it seems to be microscopic holes. Can this be polished out with something like steel wool?
