    Shave by hand is one way but personally if I had no other choice I would use a fleshing beam and an angle grinder with the sand paper type flapper grinding /polishing disc. And Goggles! Go slow and keep checking thickness. Then use a dremal and sand drum on the face. Keep moving or you WILL burn a hole.
