    Default saving etching among rust

    This is my first post so here it goes. I got a near wedge off ebay, it had a lot of rust among a large etching. I wanted to keep the etching so I tried a product I had laying around my work. I soaked the razor in a chemical from ZEP called Rust Eraser. 10 min. in the solution and 10 min. hand polished with brasso. The chemical was tough on the rust and left unoxidized material alone as far as i can tell. Give it a try

    I was watching that razor, congrats on it, looks really nice. I was just going to sand the etch off. Good save.

    Good save. I'm a little surprised that the Brasso didn't take off more of the etching but you've done a really good job.
