Lesson #1)last night I was doing some general cleaning and organizing of my collection (I only have about 10 so far) so I laid them out on a large piece of black felt from hobby lobby, I went home for lunch today and picked one of them up, and noticed the large amount of new rust, 6 of the 10 razors are badly rusted like the photos below. I am not sure what it was with the felt, or if something had soaked into it(it was dry and had been in a desk drawer for several years)

Lesson #2)
I immediately started a clean up with some sandpaper and oil, and pulled the tape off of a razor that I purchased several weeks ago. as you can see below the antique (mall) dealer had "hidden" the blade damage with tape. it sucks because in removing the tape I removed/scraped the evidence of which mall vender it was purchased from.
arrgghhh...
