Polished My Brass Asylum Evolution

When I bought my brass Asylum Evolution XL, it came only in a matte (bead blasted?) finish.  The polished brass version was released later.

I noticed mine was starting to patina anyway, so I decided to see what I could do with some polishing.  One of the things I like about brass and copper is how well they take a polish.

Here is before and after.  I think I'll do the same thing with the Karve razor I have on order.
