Hi all, I just picked up this razor, I haven't actually got my hands on it yet but, judging from the pic, it's going to need some TLC.

Clearly there is some uneven hone wear there and a little rust, if I can get away with it I'll leave the scales on and clean it up.

I think it looks like a decent razor, so I'd like any input as to how I should go about this without screwing it up. Would it likely have been a satin finish or polished? What type of techniques should I employ?

All tips and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Linc.
