I would suggest you go to Bill Ellis' web site
www.billysblades.com and invest in his Straight Razor
Restoration CD. It is a great resource for restoring
straights in any condition. Bill is a member here and
probably forgot more about restoring straights then
many people ever knew. Hope this helps.
