Thread: W&B restoration

Long time reader first post in the forums.
Hi all, I have an 1880's Wade and Bucher blade>(attatched img).
Is it possible to polish the blade and remove the rust and save the etching? I have read about soaking the rust in a mix of baking soda and water, or wd-40, has any one had any experience with it, and if so what were your results? The rust does not appear to be active.
I have asked on #srp and all though the rust appears to be harmless and would not affect the shave, I would like to get the bes estetics and functionality from this blade as possible.
for tools , they are all hand tools
120, 240 grit paper(I also need to get finer grit paper too ) , and never dull wadding.

Thank you in advance for your thaughts and opinions
