I have a brass Karve Christopher Bradley razor, and I think it's great. I have the G safety bar plate, and I always get comfortable, irritation free BBS shaves. The only problem is that I don't like patina, water spots, etc.; I like to keep it shiny. So periodically I clean it with Bar Keeper's Friend and then polish it with Flitz. It doesn't take all that long, but it gets tiresome after a while. Is there an easier way to keep it shiny? Or should I just send it out and have it plated? (I've just donated my only gold razor to the Saint Sue Auction, so I could gold plate the Karve. It's nice to have one gold razor for variety.)
