Best regards to most... and happy trails. Time to migrate. I may start something on my own site.
Bill,
thank you for the response. I was trying to understand if I should buy a specific razor and then restore it. Decided to pass - for now - because of the "extensive work" needed to deal with pitting. I might go for this later.
Cheers
Ivo

I'm not sure if you mean just the removal of active rust, or is there something
specific in the way of cleaners/ chemicals that must be used.

Those flap-wheels I've been raving about are great for removing rust and surface pitting quickly and easily. You can use them to get your mirror sanded down to a satin finish and no pitting, with very little effort. After that you can use Jason's method of making sanding drums to get it fairly close to mirror before resorting to polishes.
Thanks Bill,
That's pretty much what I had thought in the past, but when you said
"as long as it has been stabilized", I just went stupid.
The tip about the "alkaline cleaner" was new to me though....Thanks!
It's rust that has left pits in the metal. Very easy to get rid of, just list it on ebay as "mint".Quote:
