Good morning all, I recently received my first new straight razor, a Ralf Aust 5/8 from SRD. After my first shave I was inspecting the razor and notices a few odd marks on it. First there is a red splotch and next to it a small black line, I tried rubbing them off to no avail. I was wondering if this is a normal thing or if I should contact SRD and see about getting a replacement. I have attached a few photos to show exactly what I mean. Any help and advice would be much appreciated.
