I picked up an old razor a few weeks back and attempting my first true restore on it. The blade was quite badly rusted & I don't have any power tools to buff the pitting out so it's all going by hand. So far I have put about 14 hours of sanding with 180 grit into it. Now I know there are a few bits where I'm never going to get the pitting out but I want to know if it's worth sticking at it to get the lighter stuff around it out. Considering the state it was in when I picked it up I'm happy to leave it with some character marks, but am just after other peoples opinions.

Also, does any one know anything about this razor? Age, quality etc. It's a NeverRust from Germany. That's all I know.

Thanks in advance.
