Well i was slack with it. I placed it in a coffin and tossed it in a dark corner until last Sunday.
Then i took it out compared the blemishes on the razor with those form the whole series of pictures i took last month and decided i was going to keep the scales... after 6 weeks there was no further discernable damage so maybe the "celluloid rot" diagnoses is wrong (i'm hoping)

So far i have only Maased the blade a few times and it is looking better... I'll try and finish cleaning it and honining early next week, sooner if it rains
