It's absolutely gorgeous. Two stupid questions: 1) How do you keep it from rusting and 2) how to you keep it shaving sharp?
 
To keep it from rusting one would just wipe dry after use, it would also be helpful to apply a thin coat of blade oil such as camellia oil in between uses. To keep it shaving sharp you would treat it like any straight razor and strop before use and hone when necessary just like a regular straight razor.
 
Thank you, those aren't stupid questions at all. The dark finish that the forging process leaves on the razor resists rust but the razor should also be dried, and ideally oiled, after each use. Although, I've gone a few weeks without oiling with no signs of rust. To keep it sharp, some light honing on water stones (8k+) and stropping on pasted balsa wood or leather is all that is needed when it begins to shave uncomfortably.
 
OMG!!! Trevor, I can just about feel the blood trickling down my neck. I have no experience using a straight razor and so in my hands I'd likely come close to severing my gugular vein!! In the hands of someone who uses a straight razor, this one has to be the finest available...beautifully made!!!
 
Nice grab! If you want to make another please let me know as I'd gladly buy it. Disposable and electric razors just don't have the same result....
