Thread: Rust repair recommendations

dont keep your razor in the bathroom ever and if your going to store it away again you will need to oil the blade. if your going to use every week just leave it out and it should be fine

Thankfully the marks aren't close to the edge itself, so I've at least been spared that worry. I'll have a try with car polish and hope things work out.

I was stuck for time today, but I did manage to give my razor a brief going over with the car polish. It removed the rust spots perfectly, with only the black patina marks remaining.

I think you should leave the patina, if you can accept it. Gives it some character and it can be terribly hard to remove.

Had the patina appeared while I was using it regularly, I agree that it would add some character and I wouldn't be so bothered about it. Overly dramatic as it sounds, the patina occured during possibly the lowest period of my life so far and I was just drifting from day to day. That said, rather than adding character, I can't help but see it as something that came from a neglect borne of me giving up. A good part of picking it up again was to have a positive ritual to look forward to each day. Maybe I'll get over it. Maybe I'll even see it as something motivating. For now it's an annoying stain that I'll try to remove once more tonight
