Blade Spots

[Servantsfire]

Hello!
Being a newbie and after doing some careful research with this site's awesome info, I purchased the Dovo Forestal 5/8 straight edge from Royal Shave. After not even two weeks and a few shaves, I noticed some spots starting to develop on the front/back of the blade. I had been rinsing, stropping and drying before putting it into the case. When questioned by Royal Shave, the support person had never heard of that. After a week, Dovo still has not responded, so Royal Shave has kindly agreed to a full refund. Has anybody heard of this before?
Please see below:


Thanks!

They look like rust stains. Some metal polish should clean them right off. it's not unusual. Make sure the razor is dry before you put it up including the edge and the pivot area. Water can collect in the pivot and run out later. Also depending on where you store the razor if there is moisture or high humidity it can cause that. You might want to oil the blade after each use.

Thanks for the quick response.
Any particular metal polish? Brasso?
Any particular oil? Teflon?
The metal polish shouldn't damage the blade?

Does that blade have gold on it? If so, any polish will quickly remove the gold. Teflon is a plastic not an oil.

Splashone, thanks for the info!
I have a Teflon spray; its a lubricant containing Teflon, much like WD-40 but without the petroleum distillates.
What oil do most of you guys use to coat your blade when needed?

Yes teflon is slick stuff so it is a great lubricant but it is not a rust preventative. I use silicone spray. Others use various products made for guns, camellia oil or just wait a few minutes someone will be along to suggest other things.
