I agree, a reasonably dark wood, with satin finish would look great.

For that satin finish, you can't go far wrong with most 'traditional' woods and a coating of tung oil, maybe something along...

Your choice of wood to some extent depends on how much work you want in working/prepping it.

Some wood may really catch your eye but may need work grain filling and making it water resistant etc....

Firstly, Nice razor!

If it was me, I'd just sand off the corrosion on the tail and give it a light polish all over.

No need for a mirror finish on this IMO.
