I've got some old family heirlooms that I'm thinking about cleaning up for daily shavers. This will be a first razor project for me. Do people think there are any advantages/disadvantages to using micro fasteners vs. just re pinning? In a former life (when I had more time), I was a model builder, so delicate work such as re pinning is nothing new to me. Just seeking some thoughts.

ps. any opinions on polishing up the blade?
