I got an old razor out yesterday or was it the other day, and put it alongside another one and see the bad pitting near the tail that looked bad. This was the 2 in question
So as you see it doesn't look good so pulled the scales and had a look, but around the pin was fine still had its coating of gold. So I set to and wet sanded the tail to remove the pitting, then gave it a polish so this is where i am at now.
I don't think I will get it better than this without removing to much steel, So now I'm going to ask you Gents do I give the razor its gold back on the tang and spine while I have it stripped down.
