Patina is history. That razor has earned its legend. Embrace the patina!Thank you. I'm not a fan of "patina" myself. I call it "rusty old crap" instead. For me the desired look is shiny. Still, I haven't decided if I want to completely restore this one as it just mainly has staining and not pits. But, it had languished for a while in the drawer having a few chips in the edge. I was looking for something that was a bit of a journey to hone. I find honing meditative and this one was a good one for that.
That sounds like that would hurt.... Embrace the patina!
What you don’t hug your razors????That sounds like that would hurt.
As much as I have spent on some of them I feel like I should.What you don’t hug your razors????
