I know at some point, I'll have to clean up a rusty razor, and use either a fashioned hand tool or the dremel to sand the rust off, but since it's a delicate piece of metal, I wondered what you guys use to brace it; do you free hand it, meaning you just hold it with your hand, braced against something, or do you have some special vice grips you use to steady the blade? They'd have to be pretty small and unobtrusive.

How do you keep from getting your hands cut up as I could imagine while sanding at times, especially by hand, you'd be prone to some feedback and knocking different parts of your hand against the blade. Slip ups happen. How do you best avoid that happening?

Thanks in advance.
