Those things a purpose built for experimenting on.Ha... that might be a better idea actually, considering I'll probably be ruining one already at some point with my inability to use a dremel!

You get a desk grinder and swap out the grinding wheels for soft cotton wheels. Then apply the greaseless compound to the cotton wheels and use them to get rid of rust on blades. From memory I get my greaseless compound from the car restoration supply company Eastwood. It works really well. I've been using this method for about 10 years now with very good results.
I have a 6" and an 8". If you are planning on turning it into a buffer for razors then 6" should be fine.Harbor Freight sells a 6 inch bench grinder for less than $40. I could also use this to polish horn scales.
Is 6 inch a good size? Do many of you guys use bench grinders?
Being careful to not overheat the blade or launch it into something
I'm in the leave it if it looks good camp. A fairly uniform blackness looks great to me. Tonight's razor was hit with Flitz and 0000 steel wool and I had little thought to breaking out the sandpaper!
