Celuloidus Rottenitis Extremus
Quote:
celluloid rot... that sounds scary. I've heard of it and its causing rust but I don't think I've ever seen it.
Anyone have pictures of what celluloid rot looks like?
Here is a razor I bought in a group purchase recently that is eaten up by celluloid rot. I kept it long enough to photograph it and then tossed in the trash. I have almost 200 razors and this is the only case of rot that I have ever come across. The circled areas on the scales, which are a shade of orange, were the main culprits. The surface in these areas were blistered on both scales.

This razor, another Kobar, was in the same box with the one above, but seems to have escaped any damage from being in close proximity to its diseased cousin. Both razors were from seven day sets, but had different scales.
