    Also, for the person who purchased this, those Filly DTs have the thinnest, flimsiest gold coating you have ever seen. You can wipe it off with two strokes if you're using a polish like Maas or Flitz, and you can even wipe it off just using a towel. Keeping the gold wash would be nice, but to me, having a nice, clean, polished blade is much, much better than a cruddy one (with a gold seal) that no one would ever want to use for shaving. My opinion, anyway.
    Here is the one that Woodchuck was lucky enough to procure.

Fillies are IMHO all about the shave and as long as you don't go too wild the etching will still be there just not the gold wash.
    I used the dremel and felt pad taking tiny passes. It looks pretty darn good, but as you stated, the inside is slightly darker.

    I will post pics when I get her honed up.
