The tarnish on this one came off with just a few seconds on my polishing wheel...
I gave it a fresh coat of danish oil and gun stock wax, and I'll hone it up later today.
Forgive the poor quality of the picture, but it gives you the basic idea.

I've been tempted to post on this thread a few times now for different reasons. But now I couldn't stand it any more albeit for a whole new reason.
Can anyone tell me what Danish oil is. I have never heard of it.

Never heard of it =/. I'm guessing someone over there decided to call it that - for some reason other than it being from here.
Kinda like how we call the pastry, which you call a Danish, a Berliner here =)

Danish oil is Tung oil with polymers added.
It gives a nice finish without over glossing things.
I did my first shave with it a couple of hours ago, and it shaves nicely. I'd probably rate it as a 7/10... (which is good for a first shave)
It's a bit small for my tastes, at 6/8... I Did a 3 pass BBS with just a couple of weepers on the chin. no razor burn, and the blade was very smooth.
The scales have a nice balance to them, and it fit my hand well. If I use it on a regular basis, and get accustomed to the small blade, I think it will turn out to be a very nice shaver.
