For those of you who may have been a magpie in your previous life and have thought about polishing your Karve Stainless steel razor.
I have recently received my Karve Overlander in the post and so far so good, efficient yet very smooth!
Love everything about it BUT as the title suggests…I love shiny things! I had polished my CB by hand using Peek polish and patience to avoid removing too much metal.
I am very happy with the end result, imo makes the razor look a little bit more premium.
Though I would share incase anyone wanted to see the results of polishing their Stainless steel karve razors. (I know a lot have polished their brass ones before but never seen SS before)
The below is what made me try it in the first place.
Nickel plating looks nice but the colour is not the same hue as polished Stainless steel, slight yellow tinge and not has hard wearing.
Rhodium is a bit too white and ‘Blingy’ for my liking for the Overlander which feels, looks slightly rugged if that makes sense. I feel like I am using a premium tool made for shaving.
Pictures of my polished CB vs the unpolished Overlander so you can decide if you are on the fence.
