OK, started getting into my W&B, was attacking it with my dremel, felt wheel, and black emery cake.
Would not cut the dark stains, and was hopeless against the pitting.
So, I got out the 120 grit flap disk.
Same story for the pitting, but cleared up most of the stains.
However, I was concerned that it would take too much metal off, and if it hopped/caught, the blade would be toast.
So I went out and got myself some diamond lapping film, 15, 5, and .3 micron(yay for local woodworking shop!)
Then I hit an ACE hardware for wet/dry sandpaper.
Got 400, 600 and 1500 grit.
Working nicely, but this is going to take me AGES!
On the up side, it will be hand restored by me, and a wicked cool shaver.
