I put some extra work into this razor. It's a custom order and the customer ordered it rustic looking. I think this fits.

That was a custom and the price was $400. Thank you for the complements, both of them.

Thanks for your interest.
This blade is hand forged, it is not a finish or something applied. After heat treat and grinding I dip it in ferric chloride to darken it, then buff off the top surface. A coating of protectant is in the buffing compound. Any one using this razor should protect the finish with oil. That is standard razor maintenance. I do not worry about corrosion on these blades. The smile in the blade comes from using the round face hammer to shape it. The grind is a half hollow which is about all I can do on a smile blade.
