A little advice on getting the finish improved on this restoration...
Hi all.
Current project is this lovely little barbers notch near wedge. It was pretty nasty when I got it - patina all over, which when it was sanded off revealed all over pitting - albeit thankfully uniform in depth.
I've been working it with greaseless compound on my little bench buffer, 80, 120, 180, 300 & 400 grit progression - this is a new exercise for me, and the first time I've restored a razor with greaseless compounds. Anyway, I'm just not yet happy with the finish. As can (I hope!) be seen from the pictures, the sanding marks are still quite visible - so I assume this simply means I have moved through the progressions too quickly??? I am happy to have some of the pitting left over when I'm done, but I would like the finish a little better than it is.
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Regards,
Al.
