I would like to restore this razor, I have some pictures of what I'm working with, here's a link to them: Santoras World

It's nothing fancy, it was produced by W H Sample & Son, Albany New York, the model name is "Our Chief." As you can see the blade is tarnished and needs to be polished, that's my starting point. What type of polish and how to do it.

Also, if you notice there is some corrosion by the tang and pivot pin. And it is a little stiff opening and closing. I would suppose a little oil would help? I don't know if that's part of the corrosion, or how to get that off. My first thought is 2000 sand paper, but I don't know?

It might help if I can take the pin off and clean it. But to be honest, I would not mind, not having to do that.

And I guess, we'll get to the honing and sharpening later.

So, any suggestion on polishing? And getting rid of that corrosion?
