Thread: Dealing with heavy rust?

Cut a 3x8 piece of 1000 Grit sandpaper or there about
Holding the razor like a knife with the spine OFF the sandpaper set a bevel, look at the bevel with a bright light and magnification... be careful not to flatten out the smile more then it already is (see below)

If you see clean non-pitted steel then continue with the restoration, if not start at square one again

Of course you have already invested time and money in this razor so all that I just typed will be ignored

You also need to recognize that the edge and the Spine "Look" to be out of geometry with each other so honing needs to be targeted on putting it back inline when you hone this
