Thread: When to stop sanding.

So I decided I'd like to give restoration a go and found a tatty old George Wostenholm IXL barbers notch on the bay. It was well rusted but it seemed a decent project, I've always like the look of old Sheffield barbers notch razors, reminiscent of old Dreadnought cruisers! I removed the scales as these were wrecked, and got to work with 240 grit WD sandpaper. Many hours later I have removed most of the damage but also much of the etchings - boo! I wantbto know how I can remove the remaining pitting without losing the remaining etchings, any suggestions?
