Hi all,

I recently picked up a Dubl Duck goldedge at a flea market in near perfect condition. There are a few spots on the blade and the ducks on the scales along with the "goldedge" are lack luster, but all of the gold plating on the tang is perfect and there minus one little spot on top of the the tang.

I would really love for this gold edge to be restored to its original beauty but I dont want to make it worse. I've restored blades from the grave but don't trust myself with the gold plating on this razor. I would send it out to a pro but as a college student funds are tight to begin with.

So, can someone give be ideas on how to restore it? I have an adjustable speed dremel with buffing wheels, every rouge compound type, automotive wet/dry 500 1000grit, and mother's mag and aluminum polish. I thought about the mothers but it stripped the cold plating off of a gillette NEW in the past.

Any thoughts? It's not that big of a deal and It might just be better to have it honed up and use it.
