What type of blade finish is more costly but lasts longer and doesn't rust easily?

Matte finish
Pearly finish
Crocus finish
Brushed finish

The correct answer is: Crocus finish

The crocus finish is characterized by its high polish and smooth surface, which not only gives it an attractive appearance but also provides exceptional protection against rust and corrosion. This finish is often achieved through a polishing process that results in a durability benefiting the longevity of the blade. In addition, the reduced friction on a crocus finish helps maintain sharpness over time, making it a preferred choice in high-quality grooming tools, despite being more expensive to produce. Other finishes, such as matte or brushed, may not offer the same level of protection against rust or wear, and while they can have aesthetic appeal or certain functional attributes, they typically do not match the longevity or resistance to corrosion that a crocus finish provides. The pearly finish, while visually unique, may also lack the durability characteristics of a crocus finish, confirming the latter's position as the superior option in this context.
