Think I'll pass on the arena and go straight to the pub ... virtual hangovers are so much easier to deal with, dont'cha know...

I've never been able to get a blade to pass HHT if it has cell rot ....... not yet anyway ....... maybe if I honed it on a coticule ........

There have been some people who have agreed and some who have not. I see nothing wrong with this and question why it is so important that you seem to need the recognition for being correct here.

OK, I get it, you came here to pick a fight and then go back to your Hate Forum to proclaim your status and get some additional recognition as well as a heightened status for shaking the bushes over here. I notice the usual hate and agenda boys that participate over there on every thread like the one you started falling right into line. Too bad. If this thread was in your house, it would have already been deleted with all who disagreed with you banned and it's existence forgotten in a minute. It really would be nice to see the forums get along mutually, but I suspect that will never happen so long as Trolls and those who just come over to pick a fight here continue with the same nonsense.

We have so many great members here who participate in many of the forums and media venues out there and seem to have no problems co-existing. I really hate to see just a few people from one hate venue continue to come here and proclaim themselves professors of straight razors and proclaim that their opinions will either be excepted or we will be condemned negatively. People not only disagree with me and each other daily, but they find new ways of doing things and the new ways and new things really work and every one seems to learn something. We are always learning and I think that is the key more than any self recognition, self righteousness or any negative agenda for that mater. The goal of this place is to promote wetshaving and to help people become successful in all aspects of wet shaving and to pay if forward when ever possible. It is not here for any one to proclaim their righteousness.

So, I guess I better close this one now eh.......

Have fun.

I'm just curious that so many people seem to think it's more likely to be just plain rust but don't have any ideas as to how simple rust would form in the same pattern as the scale colors (and I'm staggered that at least one person can't even see it!)

And I'm just trying to discuss it to see if anyone can offer any suggestions that might explain it - but if nobody can or wants to, I'll just shut up and go away.

Update: Apologies, I see Neil has offered some suggestions that might explain it - thanks. I just replied before I read to the end.

Further update: I also confess I'm still smarting from the sarcastic put-down I got - and it's not the first time on this forum. I apologise for not liking it, and now I really will go away.
