So...second post from this new member! Just to share this lovely pipe I bought, I'm thinking of soaking the stem in oxyclean and then polish it with wim/cif , the B will probably lose the white... but I don't mind much, I'll be using this for the morning pipe with coffee!
yes, in person it does not look that oxidized, I'll try that, and then I'll just use some coconut oil, I find it to be nice to keep the stems preserved and nice
