Thread: Noob question about sanding

Hello, I'm Maolo, 22, noob here, Med student from Italy, reptiles, and blades lover, and book addicted

So, here we are...I've got this old straight, bought for about 10€ in an antique shop. I wanted to practice before buying something of value that needs restoration and found this. Unfortunateli I've got no camera, so i found some pics on the internet of a razor almost in the same conditions, the question is: if I proceed an handsand the blade will the hetching be ruined frever? I'ts an old plain barber razor, no value at all, but it's my first one, so i'm sort of fond of it, you know and don't want to ruin it more.
Here's the "reference sample", unfortunately mine is no monkey-tail and no french point, anyway...
