I actually had to use metal polish to remove the stains from some razors. The advise that led to me try camellia oil I now consider bad advice and don't recommend anyone using it. I now prefer just wiping with a new silicon cloth but I understand a good quality oil that IS NOT a fruit or vegetable product should also work.
