Thread: Rust forming on F.W. Engels Leader straight razor

Hi, I need some advice, I have a F W Engels razor. I've had it for around two months, when I got it , it had some rust and the black devil's spit(I guess that is what it's called.) I sanded the rust off and polished it, honed and shaved with it. I just use hot water to clean off the blade and wipe it dry and put it up in a paper box. It was stored in my room on a shelf. It is used in rotation with a few other straight razors. Last month, I noticed a brownish spot forming on the blade, I wiped it with a cloth soaked in RemOil and noticed it looked like rust. I sanded the rust off with a dremel brush and used the RemOil to coat the blade and left it alone. The rust came back. I have not shaved with it in over a month, but the rust still forms on the same spot even though the blade is oiled down. I have tried fishing reel grease, 3 in one oil, the rust comes back in the same spot. I have even used a qtip to oil betweeen the handles where the rust spot forms on the blade. To no avail, the spot still forms. I have used dremel's coarse brushes to sand down the blade, I am afraid to keep doing this, cause the blade is thin already near the edge isn't it? Also, lately I had stored the razor in one of those sterilite storage boxes, with my other razors, and the other razors have not shown any rust forming on the blades. I have since stored the leader razor alone, away from the other razors. There is still some pits on the blade, a couple near the spot where the rust forms. The first picture shows the blade after I cleaned and oiled it, the second shows after one day the rust looking cloud forming. I'm stumped, any advice?
