Have experienced the same thing! With several razors, but only with my 2 Jnats, slurry is first grey and then gets orange... Then sticks on the razor... Like rust, maybe the Jnats are accelerators for rusting really fast? (sometimes minutes!)
The argument against it is that the staining on the blade isn't coming off so easily like rust would... Maybe the "acid" is also a fixator...?
