Thread: HELP! Should my razor be rusting this fast?

I'm willing to sacrifice my gorgeous hollywood face for the SRP community to try it. I hope I'm right !!

Ok, I tried WD40. Easy to apply, it's easy to sray the pivot, it seems to protect very well (no corrosion signs after letting the razor sit in a humid bathroom for a few days). But is STINKS. It seems to stick to the metal, it leaves a small film behind when you wipe it off. Which makes me beleive that you'd put WD40 on your strop when you're ready to shave....

So for long term storage, i'd say it could be an interesting product to use. But for a razor you'd use regularly, I'd say forget about it.

BUT, it could be interesting to use in the pivot if ever you spash some water there by accident, you know you'll be removing every little microscopic drop that's there because of the water displacement properties of WD40.
