I recently posted some pics of my light restore of this New England Razor Co. "Barbers' Razor". I am re-posting below. I went to put this razor on the stones and I saw through my 60x magnification many microchips along the edge. Visible in the picture as well. (Sorry I can't get a close up). I thought they would hone out relatively easy. I taped the spine as is my usual practice. I started with my 1k Naniwa stone but realized that it was going to take a long time. I decided to take a pause and seek some advice on the best way to approach this situation. Do I just keep it on the 1K until the chips are gone? I don't have other stones with a lower grit, but was wondering if 800 wet/dry sandpaper would end in disaster or is it an option to remove some metal? I have heard of some who run the edge on some glass to uniformly dull the edge. Is there any merit to this approach? Any and all advice would be welcomed.
