Thread: water spots on new razor?

In my case it could not have been lack of lubrication. The razor came lubricated and I had to remove it with alcohol. Then right after the first use, there were the water spots. Does nayone have any ideas?

I think the Tuf-Cloth is about as good as it gets. I started getting spots on my razors and after using the Tuf-Cloth no more spots. I do use it more often than it recommends because I dip my razors in alcohol after each shave and it tends to remove the protection.

i bought a NEW Dovo Bizmark, and i think it was ready, out of the box, after some stropping...it seems to shave just fine and it passes the hanging hair test after some work. so i have had it for two weeks or so, and i take care of it, ie. make sure it is dry after every use, dont store it in a moist environment, but i seem to be gathering water stains towards the spine of the blade, on both sides...my question is how do i remove these, and then prevent them in the future. i am making a point to dry it off extremely well, and it seems like it is all in vein.

thanks

Periodic use of a chemical-bonding rust-preventative such as Sentry Solution's TUF-GLIDE product line is a good first step. If the problem persists, a drop of camellia oil on each side of the razor after each use will fill any prevention void. But for the protection obsessed, get a can of compressed air at the office supply or computer store. Give the pivot pin area a couple of toots of compessed air after each use to blow out remaining moisture.
