Thread: Need advice - hand sanding my first ebay razor.

I'll weigh in.

What you have before you looks great,
Clean up the previous sanding marks,
Hone and enjoy.

One of our other members added a beautiful forced patina (as he called it yes you Carl...) to a blade and all can say is WOW,
For me it really helped capture the blade.
So many want shiny and new looking, (buy a new blade)
I enjoy the history, story, and life behind it.

But alas to each his own, I have no doubt it will look great and shave as well as it looks in the long run.

Cheers

Pat
