Thread: TI straight razor.rust info/advice/help

Hello to all,
Plz find attached pix of my problem. To better guide/make decision.
Problem:
Have issues with "black" spots apprearing on my Carbon Steel TI.
What I've done in past:
I've in past cleaned the razor with alchole and then applying Tuf Glide. This is the same razor I had issues with at the rivit joint having rust spread. That has since been "contained" with tuf glide and thoro drying after shaving.

But in past month or so these sports have appeared. I wish to know are these rust. If so How can i clean them? I really do not care about loosing the "art of shaving" on the blade.
Finally I usually change my tuf glide coating after a month. Since I do actively use this razor.
Advice are much appreciated.
~Nico.
