If you want to baby your stems, you can apply a thin coat of Obsidian Oil once per month. That should keep the oxidation from coming back anytime soon. Also cheap on Amazon.

Or mineral oil at a fraction of the cost of Obsidian. I apply it after every cleaning. Very, very thin coat. Then rubbed in.
Very nice. I follow the micro-mesh up with white diamond compound applied manually with a cloth. That last step takes it as close to a mirror finish as I can without motorized tools.
That's funny you say "my one" instead of "mine." People from Singapore and Malaysia (like me) do that too! (We don't say "mate" though!)
I feel like ‘mine’ would imply I had multiple. For what it’s worth, I rarely use the term mate. Lol we are all about the bros down here
I’ve been following your FS post with much interest. Yours look more red than mine. Not sure if it is the exact “model”.
I just wiped it all over with a jewellers cloth. I too was surprised at how much grain is visible on my pipe. Maybe it’s just because they look closer to matte black on the computer screen I dunno.
She’s a fantastic smoker! I am a wet smoker so I have issues with straight pipes at times. No issues at all with this bent.
Another one to practice on for me. Although this looks like it needs less work than the Dress.
