    Default Twenty minute rust.

    I have a Boker that I polished with Mass and a dremel and also a Genco. They will stain by the time I finish shaving. I polished the Boker just after shaving with it. What causes it to stain so quickly? The Genco did the same. Some other I have don't.

    I have no idea, but one W&B I have develops rust very quickly. It might be the composition of the steel, and/or combination with the local water...

    This one says finest cast steel. I thought most were drop forged.

    If it has celluloid scales, maybe we're experiencing a case of celluloid rot corroding the metal?
