I've been using my Grandfather's safety razor that was issued to him by the U.S. Army during WW2. Plagued by shaving issues prior, it was a godsend and really gave me an interest in the art of shaving. I recently decided to step up my game and get a straight razor - but I wanted to get one that I could restore and that would last forever so that I could hand it down to my children and grandchildren. So far I am pleased with the progress I've made, but I'm unsure of how to tackle the line of very tiny pits along the razor edge. Admittedly, since it was my first restore I was quite timid when sanding near the edge. What would you gents advise I do? I don't mind some major pits (for example, the pit near the spine and makers mark), but the line of tiny pits along the edge bothers me. I've tried to minimize the amount of metal loss, so I started with 600 grit sandpaper and moved up to 800, then 1000, started doing both dry and then wet at 1200, 1500, 2000, and then 3000. After that, I used white jewelers rouge followed by green with my (braces for the cringes) dremel tool in a vice. I have the aforementioned sandpapers, a dremel, and all colors of jewelers rouges.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
