Thread: Whats the best way to keep my blade looking good?

If you buy a new razor especially with mirror finish and Gold trim the best way to maintain the like new finish is to put some oil on the blade and put it in a storage container and never use it. No kidding.

If you use a razor its eventually going to begin to show wear and marks and the gold will begin to fade to matter how anal you are about it.

The best bet is to oil it after each use and use a little metal polish like maas or simichrome periodically or some cape cod polishing cloths. if the razor has gold trim your basically out at homeplate the gold comes off way too easily to use anything strong enough to remove markings. I prefer plain blades for a working daily use razor.
