Need someone better at restoration than I am.
I have a Johan Engstrom 6/8 "JE 1874" that I recieved from a family member. It was brought over from Sweden when that part of the family emigrated. It was forgotten about till I picked up straight shaving a little over a year ago. It's not in bad shape for as old and unused as it is, but since there's some etching on the blade I don't wanna be the one to go after it with sandpaper or metal polish and end up taking the etching off if there's a better way. Is there anyone here that restores and takes on side projects? We can work out all the details, just need a place to start.
This pic from the razor database shows the etching pretty well.
