Didn't know about the purpleheart oxidizing - how long does that take Tiddle? Chev if you notice the wood starting to change color please post some pix, I don't think I've seen that before. The lines in purpleheart are interesting but the intensity of the purple is not my cup-o-tea. If they turn more brown that could be interesting!
If I shaved exclusively with this one razor it would take me about 4-6 months to get 20 shaves in!

I do have a purpleheart scale I did a while ago... Will have to check and see if it oxidized!
