Thread: Dovo Bergischer Lowe Rust - Bad Luck!

Hello all,

I promise that I did my outmost to prevent moisture!!!

two months old straight razor... short after starting shaving I decided not to wet the blade and go for a full dry blade. I use toilet paper to take lather off the blade. I strop everyday twice, I dry using toilet paper, I take special care of the scales and on top of that I have silica bags in the case...



Result: little rust next to rubber band that led to the pictures (I took out the rubber band and surprise)!



I guess the cause was one of the very first shaves,... perhaps the rust was already there. Who knows! It is still my straight razor that I will proudly pass on to my offspring.

The rubber band... I really question the use of it. I still have not figure out what it is for but making things difficult! Like I will not pay attention to my grip holding a straight razor on my face while being half naked in a bathroom!!! Useless!!!

Question is:

How can i remove the stains and prevent further corrosion? I have seen many threads but not yet deciding what to do. I have ordered online renassaince wax and looking camelia oil in the neighborhood so I guess I will go with that. But for the best method I am clueless!!

Thanks for your help!
