sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'd appreciate some clarification from those with more knowledge than me on this topic, and figured it's a better idea than opening a new thread.

If you own a Vokey Spin-Milled Oil Can (heck, any oil can finish wedge), do you find that if you keep it dry that It will stay in good condition? What is your average life span? My CG10s are on thier last legs and I've decided on Spin-Milled based on past experience, but am not sure which finish to get. I'm not fond of the black chrome, so its down to Tour Chrome and Oil Can. TC is close to what I've always played, but the Oil Can intrigues me. I like the look, but cannot afford to buy new ones every 6-12 months.

I've read up enough to know that the virtual raw finish of the Oil Cans won't likely be making any 'feel' differences [that I will be able to notice, at the very least], but I like the look better. But if it comes down to it, if the Tour Chrome will last as long as my CG-10(close to 2 years now), and Oil Can is significantly less I think my decision will be for longevity rather than novelty.

If you own a Vokey Spin-Milled

I have 3 Titleist wedges, 1 is raw, 1 is oil can. The oil can is 3 years old, the raw is about a year and a half old, they both still perform like new. I sharpen the grooves occasionally and replace the grip whenever it needs replacing. That's about it for maintenance. Rust is really not an issue, I wipe them whenever. I love the look of the raw finish. You will not be replacing these clubs every 6-12 months. I play lots of golf and when I do practice, it's mostly with these wedges. Don't worry about the longevity of these finishes or the durability of the clubs.

    • Day 39: did top golf for an hour with the family. It was fun but also not really like real golf at all. Also did some mirror work - working on the backswing stuff mostly. 
    • Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.  
    • Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball. 
    • Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).
    • Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.
