Some questions bout sanding
Hi all,
I found 2 nice old razors, all looks very well, blade was actually still sharp, not much wrong with them at all.
The thing is, I've been reading up on how to hand sand a blade etc., but I've got some stuff on my mind.
Mostly the razor has these black devil spit spots on the blade (black rust, w/e), no pitting and a little of 'orange' rust (not much of this all around tho) around the pins. I tried polishing it up a bit with some metal polish I had lying around, did make it look nicer, but still have some 'black spots' remaining.
Now I'm wondering what kind of sandpaper grit should I use for the black spots, should I start out like at around 80-120 or could I start out higher?
Also, around the pins is some rust, I'm not a big fan of removing the pins and repinning it later since I have never done this before and want to keep it as original as possible; would it be possible to work around the pins as much possible, or would that not be a wise idea futurewise, I myself wouldn't mind it.
