Thread: My First Razor Resto

Howdy all!
I am fairly new to all this, so please bear w/ me. I inherited this straight razor (put up a post about it awhile back) from Great grandfather (I believe) and am wanting to save it as a daily razor, but have it cleaned up nice. I am trying to attach pix so ya'll can see the progress. went to home depot looking for maas, but picked up Brasso instead (they didnt have Maas). Ran the dremel at low speed. there are some rust spots (along monkey tail) that I am just not able to get out w/ buffing wheel and compound (rust "gone" but still pitted). I am unsure if I can get this thing to a mirror polish, but would like to if possible (hints welcome btw). I have gone over the blade now twice and not happy w/ it yet. More polishing compound? Get Maas?? go w/ fine sandpaper? What to do about monkey tail? (if at all possible to clean up). Also, I have a few old dog bones I am thinking bout making some scales out of since these are kinda flimsy celluloid. Any helpful veterans here on the post got suggestions?? They are much appreciated!
