To me Dovo is the most solid brand I have tried so far (I also had a TI that did not work out). Maybe my RA will grow on me, and perhaps the oxidation will die off as it gets some patina, but this was a bit of a shocker, as I actually also bought oil to protect it and have been quite careful about it. It could be that the steel is different, or perhaps the razor was just too raw out of the grinding and polishing, so it attracted rust very quickly when actually used with water during shaving.
Yes, I am aware of your related thread elsewhere on this forum, but I am also aware that the replies indicate that other Ralf Aust users do not appear to share your unique problem.
