After a lot of the initial sanding was done…the tang top bottom and sides as well as the spine and toe have been cleaned up a good bit, but major pits still remain on the blade faces. BUT… I am starting to see a way forward…

MORE PICTURES:
The pits are almost completely gone except for a few near the edge. The blade is really starting to take shape now…Careful sanding and continuously bread-knifing the edge to keep it from getting to thin and losing too much of the blade width…

The blade is basically finished at this stage except for one tiny pit remaining near the edge…time to put the finishing touches on the blade and work on the scales….

Here is the latest razor I have been working on, a massive 12/8ths.
Here's how it turned out.
Pretty good, I'd say....if you don't like it, move on to another thread.
Oh, I get it, I got here before the pics were uploaded. The text was here without the pics. Neat trick Mike!

'removing the pits' you say in a cavalier tone...but you must be removing a lot of metal to get to the bottom of those pits. Amazing save! That one definitely rose from the dead.
