First one is how nice and pretty the scales turned out.
Second one is what happened when I tried to clean the rust off and it slipping from my hand, and landing on a glass bottle on my floor (Arizona Iced Tea, for record)
How's THAT for dingin' the blade?
EDIT: Serves me right for trying to tune a razor and 3AM
