Going to happen the only tool that stays new is one not used. Hate it for your shovel and axes. One day when you get older you’ll see what I’m saying. Or don’t I couldn’t give s damn.

I get what you're saying and there is a point about growing older and understanding what you say. It's a tool, it is used wet, it will get imperfections and that's fine.

If you are bothered by it or not is a personal thing, and you're allowed to be or not, that's a choice or a mentality.
Do I care about imperfections on my blades ? Not really. It's just a tool for shaving, we're obsessive hipsters discussing about it on an online forum, go figure, everybody thinks we're weird.
Do many others? Absolutely, look at all the mirror finish polished razors out there, look all the restorers restoring blades that have very few "worth". They certainly care and this forum is filled with them.
Your point is salient and moot, but it puts the matter in perspective in life, which is something we often loose in the midst of our hobby on this forum.
