Man! That's cool!
Really cool!
I have an old Wester Bros WWII vintage American made 'Gun Metal' Razor which I think was a total factory blue job.
Polish away, it still is blue.
Looking good!
OH! Don't cut yerself with that, Mike!
Run it under the windowsill!

Kinda Scarry, being a square point, even being muted lightly.
Hey! But that's the fun of it, plus keeps your mind on what your doing.
Always funny how a keen razor, will sharpen a dull mind. [emoji6]Mike
