This thread is devoted to the beauty of patina.
Please share examples of items that have aged gracefully.
Many have purchased Charcoal Goods razors over the last 2 years or so. Members have debated the pros/cons of allowing the antique brass and copper razors to patina naturally, or to preserve the original finish. I've allowed my CG razors to change naturally.
How do other members' CG razors look these days?

I don't have one, but I think yours look fantastic.

Thats why I got the bright tumbled brass....not exactly shiny a very nice matt sheen....dry it off after every shave before storing with cap loose....occasionally smear some renaissance wax on it and buff gently

I think that they were made in ‘86 or ‘87! I heard that ping discontinued the BeCu square grooves, because the pros were doing sick things with them as far as backspin and touch go. However, who knows for sure at this point.
I don’t really golf, but when I do...I hack with these!

Yes, as I recall there was a big hoo-haw over the grooves in the Eye2s. Somehow, the pros were "cheating." I used Eye2s back then, and if they gave me an advantage, I certainly didn't notice...
I've got two Charcoal Goods Level 3 razors: an antique bronze open comb I've had for a couple of years, and a bright bronze straight bar I've had for a month or so. I let them each do their thing--patina away. Over time, I expect they will begin to look more and more like each other. As they should. After all, they're twins.
