Experiments with Evapo-Rust
I got some Evapo-Rust from Amazon to try out. I'd been waiting to do something with this Henry Sears 386 -- it's 7/8", in a style that reminds me of a lot of Sheffield wedges.

I scraped as much rust as I could with an old DE razor and put it in Evapo-Rust for 12 hours with an old French blade and an Improved Eagle Razor.

I'd say it came out pretty good! It's going to need polish etc. but I was impressed. There is a fancy etch on the blade I can barely make out. I doubt that'll survive.
The French blade is Chabrol a Paris, just so cute although nearly impossible to get out of its horn scales -- big thick steel pins, no collars, had to drill them end to end at 5/32" and collapse them.
