Yeah, I've read that Maas is good too. Wow, French lavender...if that's the smell then you must be careful to not accidentally use as a shaving cream, probably won't lather worth a darn!
I guess by you saying the few times you've polished a razor that means you mostly just use soap and hot water to clean and leave the natural patina?
Absolutely on sanitize but leave patina for most of my razors. They have worked hard for many years to earn their beautiful patinas. Although I do like the look of a perfectly polished razor most of my collection are good user grade razors with enough character that I don't see the point of trying to polish them to perfection. Obviously this is purely personal preference.
