Ahhh! Rust, already??
I have had my Boker King Cutter for only about 2 weeks. Still loving every shave and learning more and more; reading SRP every day.
I just noticed some rust inside the scales around the pivot. Absolutely nothing on the blade and not on the end of the scales, just the pivot. It wasn't super rusty, just a little bit and very light. It wiped right off with some toilet paper. I can still see some bright orange in between the scales and the pivot where I can't get to.
Any advice on hot to clean this short of taking the scales apart? No idea how to do that or put them back together. I have been reading about putting camelia oil or mineral oil on the blade and how it is important to keep the pivot dry. I just read about keeping the pivot dry this afternoon at work and was not concerned with this previously and sure enough tonight when I was shaving I noticed the orange on the pivot, go figure!
Anyways, I am gonna pick up some oil tomorrow and keep some on the pivot. How often should I put it on there? Everyday?... Once a week?...
Thanks,
