i was seeing if i could get some help/suggestions, i'm trying to find places that will do some restoration and shapening/honing services for straight razors. my straight isn't in that bad of condition but i do have some light red surface rust in a couple spots. i was wanting to get the rust removed and possibly polished as well as get the blade resharpened. I don't think the scales need to be replaced but i'm not sure. I've found a couple places but was going to see what places were highly recommended. I know razor emporium does (which is where i got my vintage razor), also, classic shaving. Any suggestions help. Thanks.

unless there's anything majorly wrong with it, just sanding and polishing by hand yourself is pretty easy and will be a lot cheaper.
got any pics? if there's no serious pitting after the rust is knocked off, sometimes you can get away with starting at 1000 grit paper and working up to 2000, follow up with a bit of metal polish on a cloth and you're done. easy peasy
after that, there's plenty of members here who do honing cheaper than most of the shops would charge....I'm sure they'll speak up soon
