Yeah....outback's da BOMB!
So I dug into the oldies and came up with an interesting pair which have been sitting idle.
Someone's idea of fixing something up, a Joseph Allen Dagger Razor in some nickel-plated brass scales....Looks like waves?
AND a Wade & Butcher tapered blade. Really nice shape.
Should make for some work!
Off I go!

I was thinking the same thing. Love that tapered blade shape. Got to get me one of those some day.
It's just Sharpening, right?

Well, I will be unpinning both blades. Some pivot rust on the Tapered blade. Will sand on the tang and spine a bit and polish that out, do a few bug repairs on the scales without unpinning the bottom maybe....The Allen was pinned poorly and the blade was overpolished.
I will try to tone that down with some Croox/WD40 and repin it with some proper collars. Then, hone them up.
That's the plan.......

Well I hope you don't singe your eyebrows.
I'll wait for the smoke to clear.

So I'm wondering about Croox/WD40... I've used sand paper(various grits in sequence), but not this way you mention...

What are those combos if so and what are the different finishes produced?
On a W&B Celebrated I used sand paper, and then a good polishing with metal polish.
I've been wanting to try some various methods to see what kind of results I could get.“You must unlearn what you have learned.”
