Never have polished my razors. They are what they are. When I look at them I try to visualize where they came from and their histories. Why would I destroy their patina? However, if you like nice shiny objects, polish the hell out of them. After all, they are your razors!

The flooding in Missouri has turned the hill I live on into an island. Knowing I would be "traveling" a few days I packed the dopp kit but forgot my strop. Looks like I got wind of using newspaper as a stropping medium at exactly the right time.
Thank you, my friends!Knowledge is power. Power corrupts.

If you used the same blade each day would you oil it everyday?

I only have a couple that I polish, some nicely restored vintage blades. Most of my razors have their original patina and the rest are slowly developing their own!

For the first time in 5 years, I polished my T-I Oakwing today to remove some water stains. This razor came with a highly polished finish, so the marks bugged me a little. Thankfully, I located my Simichrome which made the work very easy.
I take care to dry my blades completely after shaving, and our climate is fairly dry, so I typically don't have to deal with the need for polishing unless it's a vintage score from the bay or elsewhere.--Mark
