Thread: First Restore and a question

So this is my first restore. This razor started with some active rust and a fair amount of small pitting. I've worked most of it out. Now I have noticed some blackness possible micro pits in the shoulder. I have cut some small strips of 320 grit and been working it slowly in those creases with a small cut hose. I was wondering if anyone has some tips or tricks for this area. Can't really see it in these pictures but it's there.

More sanding.

You're right, I can't see the problem in the shoulder, but the razor looks great as is.

Looking great so far
More sanding is the only fix until it becomes to much
Picking the line is the fun bit

Kinda what I figured. Gonna get back to it first thing tomorrow.

Looks good so far! What type of finish are you looking for?

I wouldn't bother going any further myself.
But your next one, try this.
Its what I like to use in tight places.

WD paper cut into thin strips, taped to "new!" #2 pencils. You want new pencils, that way the erasers are flat, and edges are crisp, for getting in the corners and keeping nice lines.
