I love this razor! It is a Union Cutlery Bing Blue Steel. The art deco appearance is tres cool with the blue steel and the blue and faux MOP celluloid striped handle.

As this manufacturer is not on our list I know nothing about it. However because of the art deco design I would guess it was made between 1910 and 1930. I was able to clean her up nicely but the hone wear is pretty severe. Can anyone teach me about steel bluing? Is it possible to re-blue steel? Is bluing a coating or some sort of surface treatment?
Thanks,
Brad
