I've found that when hand sanding my razors, it is most difficult (for me) to use and judge the low grits to remove pitting, etc. I'm getting much better with the progression and I am getting pretty good results. Would it make any sense to use a buffing wheel to more evenly and smoothly remove the rust and pitting then complete the process by hand?

I suppose if I were using a buffer to begin with, I could just do the whole thing that way but until I'm completely comfortable using the buffer, I'd ideally like to use it as little as possible in the process.

Has anyone tried this? Would it even be worth it or make sense to try?
