sooo. 2 diff't razors, 2 diff't stories.

The first one had a lot of pitting when I started and still had a good amount when I finished, but had an otherwise near mirror surface. The second one had 0 pitting and fairly fine scratches, and did not need the rough sanding, but did not achieve the same mirror polish.

the first one got 60, 120, 225, 400, 600, 1k, 1.5k, polish
the second got 400, 600, 1k, 1,5k, polish.

First; before/after:



second; Before/after:



NOTE: that is the back side of the razor in the after picture, I did NOT sand the chief to death.
