When I work on a razor that will retain pitting when finished, I try to get into the pitting any way I can. Using a toothbrush & polish, wire bristled (detailing) brush, steel wool, etc., I try to loosen debris & clean inside the pitting. Then I give it an Evaporust bath, bristle brush it some more, followed by another Evaporust bath, then on to other cleanings/polishing. This usually happens after all the "heavy lifting" sanding, and before walking up through the high grit papers to polish.
Hopefully my words reached a value of at least $0.02 for you :D.
Pitting aside, that's a good looking blade!
