    Default Handsanding tip:

    If you are restoring an ancient razor, don't just use your fingers to apply pressure to the sandpaper.

    Get some type of flexible, yet firm backing. It will more effectively apply pressure and remove metal easier, it will also help reduce the risk of running your finger tips across the sandpaper sharpened edge (it gets QUITE sharp!...somehow I know this...), and helps reduce getting carpal tunnel syndrome from sanding away at a 150 year old Ebay find....

    I use a piece of thick leather, which I can then fold over, and wrap a piece of sandpaper around...makes a more comfortable grip for sanding,and the bend fits the hollow of the razor better.
