Mien used to look the same after 1 day with the brass. With the gold plating, it takes about 4-5 days to look like that. I'm going to all SS 'cause I HATE POLISHING!! ;-)
Not even so much that I hate polishing, but that I always have to say something like, "Yeah, it looks a lot better when it's polished, but you'll never ever see it like that because I'm very unlikely to polish it first thing in the morning."
