Thread: Water Spots on my new Dovo????

sounds good...I'm thinking of not trying products like MAAS or anything of the sort. I dont want to lose the marking on the razor. I guess ill try the baking soda with cloth, and if that doesnt work, ill just live with the spots and see if they fade away after some use.

If you use maas use it with a Q tip and go around the etching. I wouldn't chance rubbing it over the entire blade you might lose the etching.

Also 2 things. When you are done with the razor check to make sure there isn't any water inside the scales before you close it. Also don't lay it close to the sink try to keep it as far from the sink as possible.

Yeah definitely, i'd use a qtip to apply it....the only thing im not sure of though, is whether applying maas will change the finish of the razor to a shiny, mirror finish (like the spine of the razor in the pic), or will it leave it as the dull, satin finish after using it?

If the spots are Water spots it is usually Calcium & I wonder if vinegar would remove the spots? I might try it on an old blade first & test different strengths by watering down. You might use distilled water or get a water softener to help the problem. I did water testing on the boilers on my ship in the Navy & for 20 years in Hospital boiler rooms. I have a Robeson 1631 I will try it on. Hope this might help. Don't know how it will affect gold plate or paint but the
Robeson has neither.
