    Default Rust on my edge

    After honing within 30 minutes my edge on a particular razor starts to rust granted I'll probly answer my own question but I'm using my dmt to get the bevel set I had to bread knife but my other razors have not ever rusted

    Yep that is a great pic of a well advanced Heel Hook, I have been asked many time what I mean by that term and there is a perfect picture of how they keep getting worse as the honing continues

    I was just thinking he should take the heel off a bit, and then I scrolled and saw your comment, Glenn.
    That makes me feel that I'm possibly finally learning something :-)
    What I'm saying is I'm quite chuffed I had the same thought as you...

    You and me both, brother!

    As to the original question I'm afraid I don't have anything to suggest. I have never had an edge rust that quickly on me before. Will be watching this thread with interest...

    Edit: just re-read OP, and noticed the 30 minutes thing. That makes a little more sense... I thought it was rusting *immediately*! Note to self: coffee first, then SRP.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.

    The bloom you see is the swarf from the DMT getting lapped up onto the blade. This stuff is super fine and has an incredible surface area to volume ratio and will flash rust. I see this all the time on M4 competition (knife blades) I hone on DMTs.

    On a razor, I would suggest (getting rid of that deadly hook, and then) basically ignoring that rust and going to your water stones. My real question is why are you waiting 30 minutes? Your edge also has a VERY high surface area and may be rusting also. You need to polish the bevel immediately after the DMTs or oil it.
