I have been neglecting my Karve for a month or so, as new razors arrived in my den. After a rough neck shave with, I revisited the Karve (which I had been using on C/D plate) and I dropped back to the B plate and it was amazing. Efficient, but so smooth. It really is a great head design and I love the low profile for working around the mustache area. I am excited about the stainless steel version, but what I am really waiting for is Titanium, since it is one of my favorite metals...fingers crossed.
Last week, I used a "Brass Aging Solution" that was purchased from Amazon to add a forced patina to one of my Karve razors. I am really happy with the way it turned out and I am excited to see it go through the process I call "reverse patina" where it will lighten on the edges and on the areas that are handled the most. This process only took around 1 minute of soaking time per piece.

Thanks! The product is literally called "Brass & Bronze Aging Solution" and it is available through Amazon in an 8oz bottle. The marketplace seller that sells it is named "House of Antique Hardware"
