Thread: Where should I begin?

Hello everyone!

This will be my first restore. However, I am not quite sure where to begin. I have read pretty much all of the posts and articles on how to restore a blade, but I don't know where to start. I have read all about grinding, buffing, hand sanding, polishing with steel wool. I just don't know what process I should being with on my razor. The razor I am working on is a JA Hellberg Faux-frameback Swedish steel razor. Let me know what you guys all think I should do!

As for tools, I have disc sanders, variable speed grinders, and ways that I could attach buffing wheels. And of course whatever I can purchase at Home Depot for a few dollars.


This is what I'm dealing with. Nothing awful at all. Just some discoloration and very minor pitting on the blade. Let me know what you think

PS: Not worried about scales at this point, just worried about the blade.
