Hey everyone,

Looking forward to meeting and getting to know lot of SR users and getting alot of tips for using SR.

So let me cut to the chase; I bought a straight razor from a decent, respectable shop including cream, brush and strop for £50. I thought it was a good deal and was pleased with it.

Today I thought id try out my new purchase and had a pretty decent shave for a first time. Its not the shave that was the problem its the after affects on the razor. Small roundish green-brown spots have appeared on the razor blade and appear to look slightly like rust.

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong with the aftercare of the razor or during use? Im really heartbroken because I was really looking forward to begin using SR and now my first experience is a bit tarnished by what feels like a poor quality purchase

Thanks to anyone who helps.
