    The satin finish was called a glazed finish back in the day. I like them both. What I use depends on the razor. Some razors had both types of finish. For instance the blade is a glaze type finish and the spine and tang a crocus type finish.

    I am not stuck on one type of finish. Some razors go better with this one or that. I wish I had a tighter handle on getting them right. Is there a specific application that you are referring too, the finishes in general or is it a word usage question?

    A crocus finish on certain blades is very classy and tasteful IMO. I was actually contemplating trying it on my next project. Apparently there is a learning curve, so I may bug Wolfpack for some tips before diving in. He seems to have it down.

    Is there a significant difference between a satin and crocus finish? I have yet to see side by side pics to compare.

    That beast will look badass with any finish, as long as it's done well. I am looking forward to seeing how it ends up, whatever you choose.

    Sometimes it is not worth the removal of a lot of steel for the sake of a couple of small pits, hit those ones with a satin finish.
