I plan on keeping both patina free. I have a charcoal goods brass and copper that I are "growing patinas". I be an alpha copper that has developed a nice Latina. So Alan's will stay bright and shiny per his beautiful handiwork. I will put some museum wax on these babies to hinder and dryer oxidation!

He does great work, right?!

Please post pics of the “nice Latina”, Tommy.

I love auto-correct sometimes. It has the most surreal ideas of what “correct” means.

Ok. I’m thinking it may be better to have the nice Latina, even though the polished razor looks great. Food for thought.

I stole this from someone, but I call the feature "auto-corrupt" Big Grin

My Dad sends some doozies occasionally!

Best laugh I have had in weeks. And I will take the nice Latina over copper every day.

That copper sure is pretty! Congrats TommyCarioca … Alan sure pays attention to detail.

Tommy:

I had a CG top cap with a flaw, sent it up to Alan and I can’t remember where the flaw was, it’s gone…I’ll post some images over the weekend

Ask AlanH81 how his hands feel after polishing a rig like yours! I’ll bet your Karve took 3 days, it’s stunning!
