That pic is ready for the "Show us your Shave Den" thread!
You could go about the rust on the Red Imp a few different ways. 1k or 2k sand paper, or extra fine steel wool (0000 grade) are fairly gentle, as far as hard abrasives go. They should do a decent job of getting rid of the red/brown rust without making it look like a rock tumbler & a dremmel got in a fight with the razor caught in the cross-fire. They won't do much to remove pitting that may be hiding under the rust, however. . Pitting isn't a razor death sentence, though. As long as it is tended to & not allowed to spread or grow in any way, it is just a blemish, like a pimple.
On a rust related note: preventing rust is the reason I wipe my blade on the corner of a large, dry sponge between passes. Only a light rinsing at the end, followed by the usual drying methods. Btw, the sponge also nearly eliminates the risk of "clinking" my SR, chipping it.
I hope this was helpful!Decades away from full-beard growing abilities.
