Light rust and pitting on Dad's Dovo Astrale. DIY - or send it in for refurbishing?

[Caesar62]

It's a great razor - and I'd like to use it - but the rust and light pitting over the gold inlay on the blade has me concerned. Any place I can send it, or is this a DIY project with the right supplies? CLR rust remover?????

Thanks!

Pix? If you have rust on the gold wash, that's really tricky to do. To be honest, I've not tried, but a tiny bit of chemistry and/or rubbing tend to remove the gold wash very easily. I'll leave others who have tried answer for real. Regardless, a picture is worth a jillion words with most stuff like this. Stick one up here and you'll get lotsa responses, I bet.
