Thread: What would you do?

A client gifted me this W&B Celebrated Fine India Steel Razor today. He said that it had just been laying around his house for years after he attempted and then decided not to St8 shave. He put it up years ago. The condition is NOS with serious pitting on one side and some spotting/minor pitting on the face side. There is also pitting on the top side of the spine.
I'd like to get some input about how to proceed with restore? - or- just stabilize, hone, and go on. The etched side looks great but the other is- you'll see. I've cleaned it up with MAAS and cleaned the scales with Harley Spray Cleaner and Polish (from Harley Davidson store).
I'd like to hear some good ideas. I am uncertain if sanding down one side will harm the geometry. The orange peel pitting seems fairly deep.
Thanks for the help.
