    Default H. Diamond 120 - enforced patina & Buckeye burl scales

    Pitting on blade was quite deep and distributed evenly, blade had also frown. Very bad combination.
    After cleaning and some hand polishing decided to fix frown and enforce patina. Mustard and vinegar in random order, by the way my first attempt and I am positively surprised by effect.
    Buckeye burl finished with Hard Wax Oil.
    I only set bevel before enforcing patina, so now need to refresh bevel and then full progression.

    Thanks. I really like Japanese blades and indeed this one is good shaver (tested this morning) beside the appearance
    Got buckeye burl off ebay.

    I really like the shape you put on the scales and the patina works well with the steel. The entire Diamond series of razors are all excellent shavers.
