Questions about rust on blades
I am rather new to SRP and have been shaving with a straight since September 2008. I have become quite a fan of the art and am looking to enhance my knowledge in straights. I recently purchased a large quantity of straights at a yard sale from an old retired barber. He and his father and grandfather before him were all barbers.
The problem I have is while going through the razors I found that some of them seem to have been exposed to dampness. The scales are in decent shape but some of the blades have spotting where others have actual rust.
My questions are two fold. I am going to attempt to remove the spots but am unsure what I should use to clean them up with. Secondly Are the straights with rust useless? I can take pictures and post the if anyone would like to see what I have. Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Richard
