    Just rub some toothpaste lightly to remove the water spots. That’s exactly what I’ve done. It will patina right back up in a couple of uses. Brass polish like Bar Keepers and Brasso have abrasives that might remove the matt finish.

    Clint, thanks for the advice. I saw on another site, were a guy used Cape Cod tarnishing cloth on the Karve and it looked amazing. I have heard of people using Ketchup on brass, what is that all about.

    I use the Cape Cod cloth on my Timeless Bronze. I wipe it down with the Cape Cod cloth then wipe it again with a clean dry microfiber cloth. Quick and easy.

    Razor: Timeless .95 SC
    Blade: Treet Platinum (2)
    Brush: SOC badger
    Pre shave: Stirling mentholated
    Soap: Soap Commander Wisdom
    Thayers Lavender
    AS: Fine Lavender Pour Homme

    Good morning!

    A great shave to start the day! The left hand was better today, still not natural though. I do feel progress with each shave.

    The Fine Lavender Pour Homme pairs nicely with the Soap Commander Wisdom.

    I feel good and I smell good! Have a great day! [​IMG]

    Yesterday’s shave was nothing short of perfect. Fantastic lather from the SC, and the amazing post shave feel reminded me of why I enjoy this soap so much. A Feather Super in the General easily provides the smoothest, closest shave of any safety razor I’ve ever had.

    This morning I realized I hadn't taken my shave creams out for awhile, so I grabbed one of my favorites. Loaded a fresh Gillette yellow, I forgot how sharp and smooth these blades can be. I then proceeded to execute great 3 pass BBS shave. Have great Sunday everyone.

    I am not a veggie/fat WWF cage fight kind of guy, but generally my favorite soaps tend to be tallow based. (mutton....) I have tried and kept some vegan soaps that really rock performance wise, but SC leaves my face feeling like the back of a hot chick I want to rub tanning oil on. Not sure if it’s a heavy on the Shea Butter thing or what. I really love SC.

    Edit*** Corrected a typo.

    Thank you, Sir. Simpson does a good job with a darker resin. So does Epsilon, BTW. Seems like “Butterscotch” could just as well be “Blaze Orange” now a days.

    Musgo is actually really good cream. My wife was an Oak Moss fan too, so it was a win win.

    Cape Cod cloth would work as well since it’s not very abrasive. The Ketchup likely works by dissolving the tarnish much like the toothpaste.
