So, I was going to post asking if you can effectively polish a razor by hand...

Mine was nothing like either... More of a, "Man, I screwed up!", result. The razor did have a different pattern on the bottom though. I wonder if you could paint designs with Suoer Glue, let set then soak in vinegar to get a patterned result?

There are just sooooo many directions you can go... Awesome!

I'd bet you could use melted wax and an instrument to make patterns that would stay silver and then force a patina, and the wax would be way easier to remove.

I have access to wax and waxing instruments at work too, you can do really fine work with those too, lots of possibilities there. Very interesting.!
