I have a decent Packwood with a nice patina, no rust, and a very faint Masonic etching on its face. In other words, the blade itself needs no restoration.
The scales are in decent shape, with no bugbites, and the pinning is solid. However, the surface of the horn has a slightly raised grainy texture to it that I'd like to smooth down and polish up. Is this something I can do without taking the razor apart, and if so, recommended progression of sandpaper/buffing? I've been considering the purchase of a desktop buffer for something like this, so if should go that route, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
