Rust during storage
I got this razor in for edge repair which was stored for 4 months.
The rust & pitting didn't make sense as I know the owner doesn't wet his razor during the shave , just wipes dry.
I also know he uses a quality WD oil.
Turns out he regularly checked to see that it was well oiled by running his fingers on the body of the blade & tested it by shaving arm hair on occasion, never cleaning off & re oiling.
A trap for young players especially those with acidic skin chemistry.
Keep your razors rost frei

Oz your high magnification photos are too much of a good thing for proper perspective IMHO. How about a normal shot of the blade ? Good advice though for everyone.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

What is normal Jimmy ? You mean no magnification at all ? These are a couple just using the iPhone. You can see a couple of pits in the edge but the toe damage is not obvious at all.
There was staining on the body of the blade that was apparent but I check all blades with a simple 8x loupe pre honing. The scope is just a way to for me to take pictures.Last edited by onimaru55; 12-07-2016 at 11:45 PM.

Oz, you and Me are the only people 'normal' on this forum, and sometimes I'm not sure about you ! ...........

Now the next question is, if we subjected every blade to high magnification what would the result be?

Better edges…?
Like the man said, when you stick your head in the sand, guess what is exposed?

Like I told Sham, the higher the magnification, the worse my honing gets ........ Originally Posted by thebigspendur
