Tale of the Ugly Duckling (aka intentionally rusted razor)
Soooooo.... a little while back I got a Special #1 off the bay for miraculously less than $20 or something.. When I got it the blade was fine, hone wear straight and even, bevel didn't have chips or anything. Anyways... the scales were a little boring so I ripped them off (remember that thread?), then the blacking on the tang was very thin/patchy so I maased that off. But I missed it. So... I decided to learn rust bluing. And so I rust blued the whole razor. Now it is all done and I have a pitch black Special #1. Note, the finish has some uniform slight pitting because at the beginning I left it two days without carding. :banghead: however its okay cus its uniform and makes it a satin finish.
