Gents,

I can't figure out why my razor continues to get small pit marks even though I follow a good procedure, or at least I think I do. After shaving I dry it with a dry terry cloth towel, then give it a light stropping, dry it further with a tissue, then use a new tissue to rub Pacific blade oil on it before storing it in an open position in a dry room. The pit marks look like water spots on a car. I'm thinking maybe this brand of oil isn't very good, as I also notice when I wipe the oil off the blade some of the gold plating comes off on the tissue. Is that a normal thing with blade oil? The razor is a Dovo carbon steel Black Star.
