    Default Picked up a Bengall and a Bushman from a vintage store.

    Hi Guys, here are some pics of the bengall and bushman i picked up from a vintage store in fitzroy.
    Should I rinse the blade before I start with the metal polish? or just go straight to the polish?
    thanks APOLOGIES For the poor camera quality i will use a better camera next time

    ok i polished it with autosol. the bengall is looking quite nice a few small bits of rust on the spine.
    the bushman has quite a bit of stuff that wont come off with the hand polishing. i might (very carefully) try using the dremel with a polishing wheel on it. should i move to wet dry sand paper now? whats a good starting grit.

    both look like they should come up ok, but the bengalls are great razors and it looks cleaner than the other one, probably just a polish will sort it, plenty of info on here about restoring them, the other one looks like a bit more work, worth the effort though.
