    I'm surprised that no one up to this point has brought up the health issues of shaving with a rusty razor ie- dangers of tetanus and the such. Would you want to shave with a rusty disposable or DE? I would think a rusty straight would be even worse, considering the likelyhood of cuts is that much more.

    I agree with onimaru55, being in Oz would mean the humidity factor would be high; I suspect that would be the main culprit behind the rust.

    All things aside, I noticed that you said the rep called it "surface rust" then you also said in your second post that it did not come off after a strop session. Even bare leather will buff off so-called "surface" rust if it is, indeed, limited to the surface. The fact that it did NOT proves Utopian's affirmation that the aforementioned dealer is a "moron." Either way, it's good that you got your money back, because now you can work out a deal with one of the local razor fanatics in Oz and get yourself a good one, not to mention the help and advice from someone who doesn't have their head stuffed into their own lower-digestive orifice.

    Hope you find the right one soon. Start by taking a look at the Classified section here...

    You might want to get one of those silicone-impregnated gun socks and cut it down to sew a razor sock for storage.

    Good luck finding a new razor and keeping it clean!

    The silicone socks work great. I have two about 6" long x 2" wide. The web site is sackups.com They make all sizes for many different applications. It is a cotton fabric that contains an oil and silicone base. It has a natural wicking ability that continually draws moisture away. And its made in the USA.
