It looks do-able. How smooth the finish can get before you start to remove too much metal is another story. I've founf this is often the case with hollow ground blades this bad; you have to live with some scarring to preserve the blade's integrity.

Thanked: 13249 220-320 grit
The beginings of finding bright Steel!!!!
These are after the 220 grit and 320 grit
BTW this restore is all by hand, no spinner for this razor, I want to keep the original pins intact....
