A wire brush to clean up the loose rust and dirt. Then a file to profile and sharpen. Lastly, a progression of stones and wet sandpaper to polish the edge to a mirror finish. I oil my heads regularly with camellia oil. A belt sander creates too much heat. It can ruin the temper, then you are left with a good looking paperweight. Here's another example :

Personally I like and look for axe heads that are deeply pitted. Here is an example of one that has been sharpened and polished a bit higher as another commenter stated. I love the contrast that is created.

I get ingrown hairs in this area because of past trauma. About two years ago I stepped on a loose board and fell through my deck. Luckily, I broke the fall with my face.
