Restoration set up?

I love "tinkering" with things. I`ve worked with my hands all my life and enjoy it.
I love the idea of restoring a razor. (well i`d prefer to make one from scratch but i do appear to be lacking a blast furnace)
But what exactly would i need? what do you use?

I was thinking some V.fine wire wool, some wet and dry paper for removing rust.
A buffing pad to polish the razor up agian.
a selection of small drill bits for removing pins.

then hones ranging from 1k-12k

and a strop treated cro ox ect

and a jewlers loupe,

any thing else any opne can recomend?
