Thread: Newbie Restoration?

hey everyone,
I took a look around the site and found alot on first time restores but was wondering if anyone had a link to something that covers the first steps right through to the last steps on a restore. I am trying to get info on how to sand the blade, what to use, stuff like that. This will be my first ever and dont know much or where to start....I enjoy reading though so any links that you think may help me would be greatlly appreciated.
thanks

I'm just in the middle of my first restore, and I found these articles on the wiki very helpful:

Hand sanding a blade

and

Restoring a straight razor

I'll be posting before and after pics when I've finished.
