Thread: Will metal polish ruin goldwash?

Hey guys, I'm very new at this and just bought my first old() razor off e-bay. New it had some issues before I got it but I need some help. Honing the blade i can do but am worried about polishing off the blade markings. Any idears would be great. Also the scale pin is very loose. How hard is that to fix. I've only seen it done on Lynn's video but have no experince.
