I'm considering polishing a couple of my brass razors that have a machined/blasted finish on them. The Karve CB is one of the candidates.
Let's assume my attempt with Peek and the drill attachments have the desired effect and the razor emerges with a mirror like finish, I'd like to retain this for as long as possible. My understanding is that Renaissance Wax will help reduce the rate of patina and stains. Is this really the case for a razor stored in a bathroom environment? Does regular handling reduce the effectiveness of the wax? It's also quite expensive (says the man that haemorrhages money on shaving hardware). Are there cheaper alternatives that perform just as well?
