Thread: Storing razor in oil filled container?

Head to Repco and grab a can of 'Inox' spray. Much easier to give the blade a quick spray after a shave than oil it up. Can get right into the pivot too.

Ok I have managed to take some photos, out of the large number of photos I took I only managed to find 2 that show the black dots and in their worse light, still I can’t seem to be able to capture the dull staining that runs along the edge through the dots very well. It’s the best I can do with a phone camera as its all I have.

Can’t work out why I am getting this staining with all the post shave care I put into the razor so I am thinking it is staining during the shave, perhaps etched in soap or blood, I real do not know.

If that is happening during shaving, then that area needs to be cleaned up and polished with Maas or Flitz. You can do this with tape on the edge or polish only toward the edge. If you have a non-polished area on the blade, it will attract and hold residue and cause that kind of oxidation. Oiling over that area without first getting it polished actually increases the likelihood of staining because you are "trapping in" the very stuff you are trying to avoid.
