help needed - whats going on with this blade ????
ok im feeling like the bad luck fairy has visited me with a 20 ton truck.
i tend to clean all new razors i purchase with a simple bath of almost boiling water to help put my mind at ease about the risk of the blade carrying any nasties. (i know its not 100% guaranteed way to clean it but that and normal washing with anti bac agents keeps me from freaking out)
anyway i boiled the kettle made a cuppa, and left a cup of water to cool a little on the side, dipped the blade in and wandered off for a shower, when i returned about 5 - 10 mins later and removed the razor this has happened..

now there was no obvious marks on the blade before hand, except for my fingerprints that wiped off cleanly, here is a pic of the same side of the blade before i hot water dipped it.

whats going on ? does anyone have any suggestions or ideas and is there anyway i can remove it? i have tried two diff metal polishes so far and neither have removed the marks yet, and im now terrified that i have perminantly marked the blade. two other razors that i have hot water dipped have had no reactions like this..
