    i would say, for the sake of defining it to discuss, that as mint-ness increases, the closeness of the razor to its original factory condition increases, with a completely mint razor being exactly as it was when it left the maker's hands. so, no, the guy who dropped his razor no longer owns a mint razor. he owns an unused razor, but use is not the only way to diminish mint-ness. anyway, my original question refers to mint as i've defined it here, if that helps. in reference to what the big spendur said, i would think everyone here would agree that use, no matter how professional or careful the honing and shaving, diminishes mint-ness simply because any kind of use removes metal from the razor, diminishing the number of times it may be used again.

    thanks for all the info and good discussion, everyone.
