    There is some light pitting.
    Ive decided to not sand the blade to keep the integrity of the etching.
    I will buff it with chromium oxide,
    ( the green stuff we put on strops)
    Wich is approximately 30,000grt.
    Then polish it with flitz and maas.
    The first, (cr/ox) I will use a felt wheel in the dremmel. The second, ( flitz and maas) I'll use a rag wheel.

    Seriously, DONT use your nice new dremel on your nice already partially hand worked blade. Get some junker blades and practice on them first. You don't want to find out through trial and error how much speed and pressure it takes before a razor "burns"
    Learn that on garbage!

    Would that remove the etching?

    Probably not all of it. But yes, it would ruin it for sure. Sometimes its better to just clean-up some blades, than to try and make them like new. Thats what I've been trying to get across to you.
    You didn't have to do all of the sanding, that you did to your blade.
    You could have easily cut the rust off, and rubbed it with metal polish.
    If that didn't work, maybe try steel wool and WD-40,then metal polish. Always try the least invasive ways first. Heavy sanding is usually left for wedge,near wedge and 1/2 hollow blades.
    The full and extra hollow blades wont hold up to it,their too thin and have a better chance of being destroyed. I'm no pro at this! But I have restored almost 100 razors last year and ruined a few learning
    I cant emphasize how important it is to read and learn as much as possible on restoring these, beforehand. Read others posts on the subject throughout the forum and other forums. Check the WIPs
    (Work in progress) like I'm doing with the Boker. There are so many tips and tricks to learn, and I cant remember them all or claim to know all. Ive been with this forum for a year now and joined to learn how to do this, as well as you.

    This is what happens if you sand or polish the etch to much.

    Like outback said evaluate how deep the etch is and how much damage is present before proceeding . If you feel the etch with your fingernail or a toothpick you can get an idea of how deep it is.
    The above example was more is a sticker no depth at all.
    That was part of my learning curve.
    That is why the other members are helping, well its what we do, but they are reducing the learning curve.

    Here is whats possible.
    See my lengthwise scratches, BAD. Considered poor workmanship.
    See the dates its part of my learning curve.
    Shaves so good and I got lazy, This is a razor I need to revisit.
    For $50 I couldnt pass on a Philly, Its way out of my league. So I took a shot at cleaning it up.
    Notice the color or the rust, and age of the razor, those are tells of how deep the pitting is.
    Older razors, blacker,darker rust deeper the damage.
    Now back to outbacks class

    Ok i misinterpreted that. I thought the steel wool process was an alternative process to sanding. I didn't pick up that you were telling me not to sand the blade.. my bad.

    Not a big change, just cleans up the blade more. Im not going for a perfect finish, just want to make it look nice and clean, with that used well kept look. Even though I could go in with 600 grt -2500 grt. and make it better with little damage to the etch, wich is pretty deep.
    Just want the ol gal to look good for her age.[emoji6]
    So I'll give her a buff job with metal polish, and see how she comes out, before I get it pinned back up.
