Is a bit of patina a bad thing
Hi guys,
I've been looking a some of the shave of the day pics and some of the vintage razors.
I've come by several some which just needed a little polish and hone and a couple more which needed 'the works' as Mr Miller put it.
Got me thinking, is an item made 120+ years ago and still I use today meant to be mirror polished or is a clean up and letting the blade show its age enough?

Not a bad thing at all! There was a time when I wanted to 'mirror' polish everything but now I've learned to appreciate patina

I like mine clear and shiny if at all possible. I try to get out all the pitting as much as possible. I guess it's my own ocd, I want them as bright and shiny and like new as I can get them.
