anybody out there ever try rust bluing the razor blade? would play hell on the edge and have to be re-honed I'm sure but....
you know what I'm talking about? like on guns back in the day, and on custom guns now. essentially you use a rust accelrant (rust bluing solution) and then boil to convert the rust from ferrous oxide (red) to ferric oxide (that deep blue), then card off the scaling and repeat, do this until there is no more rusting, you have made yourself a finish impervious to rust this way. and look at old guns, it sometimes lasts 100 years.
your edge of course wouldn't stay blued, but the rest of the razor might look really really cool.
thoughts guys?
