That W&B is gonna take quite a bit of work. Definitely going to take a few sessions to finish sanding alone without getting carpal tunnel haha.
What's on your work bench right now?

Nice! 
Finished polishing the WISS today and set the bevel, I also started sanding the W&B. Pretty obvious this one is always going to have some pitting but I can live with it. I’m just happy I didn’t crack the scales when I removed the blade.
It was put on hold in order to make some Christmas gifts and I haven’t gotten back to it yet. After heat treat it was much too thick and not hollow enough—not surprising because I didn’t want it to be so thin that it cracked. I did some more grinding on it but now that it is hardened it is slow going. Plan to update once I have actual progress.
That's a pity but you will get there, but it will be nice to see once finished.
This came last week Friedr Herder 77 Solingen here is the pics as it was
And this is now after a good polish and a clean up

That's a pretty clean razor Ian! Did you just do hand polishing on this one?
Yes Matt only done by hand as it was not to bad to be fair, even the scales had marks only surface nothing bad. It just wear and tear but Novus No 2 sorted them out by hand but a great result for a great razor.....

Nice, I just got two bench buffers and I'm figuring it out, but currently, I prefer how my hand polished blades turn out. Never used Novus No 2 I'l have to look it up.
Its good stuff Novus 3 is for heavy scratches, No 2 is for fine and then you get No 1 a plastic polish here is a picture of the stuff
But if your using a bench buffer on plastic, you need Vonax finishing compound on a polishing wheel.
Next one sorted a Blue diamond its not in bad condition just needed the bolsters regluing and just a clean in general but here is the before and after as normal
