Welcome.. and good luck. I like you did the same thing ( I also bought a shavette style to start shaving with while I restored). I would highly recommend hand sanding first as you can get decent results in just an hour or so to see if there is any pitting or other issues with the blade. Also if you haven't watched them yet check out undream's youtube videos on a restore from start to finish as it gives great information and even some tips that may make re-assembly easier.
