Heavy carbon buildup?

Series of photos over 2 years.

  1. first stovetop season and blueing

2 and 3) blackened nicely over time and use. Eventually, the sides built up a tough black layer of carbon

  1. finally decided to clean off the carbon buildup so I used BKF and brought it back to near metal.

Bottom and cooking surface is mostly clean, inner edge and top are not scrubbing off easily

Worth restarting the process and getting those bits off?
