So I have this 4/8 razor I quite like but have been putting off honing until I had some practice as I there isn't much steel here to lose and I want to keep it. Starting to get curious so I think I'll hone it soon, but it needs a bit of a cleaning.
Ultimately I'll want to take out the pins and sand it a bit, maybe graft some contrasting wood onto the end of the cracked one. Or maybe both as I'm concerned it's too brittle and I fear I'll wind up cracking the other one anyhow when I try and pin it.
But I want to use it before I get around to that project, how would you recommend I go about cleaning this up to at least be hygenic without repinning?
