Since I’m home alone, I tried my luck with the Dremel and polished away on the Puma. I’m afraid that esthetically, this was not a success – while I removed some of the staining, I’m not sure I have the right tools, and there is a visible difference in level of polish between where I had protected the blade with tape, and where I had polished. Like @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social’s Thiers Issard, this razor is now officially esthetically challenged.
It had no bevel on it at all, so I went all the way from 1k, and I had to get rid of a small enough dent in the toe. However bad it may look, it is a spectacularly good shaver. I will certainly use this one quite regularly.
Have a good day!

My Puma is also a great shaver. Do you have a picture of the esthetical challenge?

No good one:

The differences in reflexion here are not due to the light, and there are also smaller stains.
djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 4 weeks ago
Yeah, not sure I see the difference you mentioned in the original post.
