Is there a way to keep my straight razors shiny and new looking?
The problem might be called patina? caused by hard water.
I'm fine with it on most of my blades but I have a custom blade with Titanium scales and it just doesn't look right unless the whole thing gleams.
I honed it up the other day and thought lets get it looking perfect. So I used a little maas on the blade and mineral oil on the scales. Finally I oiled the blade. It looked splendid
Today I had a shave with it and the markings that appeared made it look like a vintage blade, untold speckles and marks.
Is there any tricks that I'm unaware of?
Thanks.. Happy New Year ..
