Thread: Air-Brush Sandblaster

I would think that blasting is going to leave it's own mark on the razor that will have to be removed if that is not the effect your after. I don't think too many original blades came with fine sand finishes. The method wasn't even invented until 1870 or so and then how widely was it used ? It may clean out some deeper pitting but I don't see it removing them. Maybe rounding them off some. Like you said your going to have to get a few under your belt to find out and even then you will learn something with each razor as you go. Some like this some like that. :<0)
Dig in and have fun.

Both the Bead blasted and Evaporust razors will need to be sanded or buffed with greaseless to bring out a shine.

Evaprorust is much cheaper and easier, about $25 buck for a gallon that can be reused many times, simply dropped into the solution for 24 hours, rinse in warm water. No gloves or respirator needed. This same blade has sat on a shelf above my work bench since I did this experiment, a year and a half ago. It still looks identical to this photo, no rust in an unheated garage.

Results are similar and all rust is removed, both have a satin finish.
