Restoring rusty old straight razor --- AF invention

I bought this old straight razor for a couple of dollars for restoration. I thought since the blade was not chipped it should be quite easily restored although it is very rusty. Also the rust was not layered so I was hoping it was only surface rust. It turned out there was some pitting which is bad because on a razor there is not much steel to grind down to get rid of the pits. Luckily I managed to get rid of them. After removing the pits I polished the knife up to 2000 grits and then continued with metal polish compounds.
