I bought one in the 80's of last century. After not using it for a while the faux tortoise celluloid has started to desintegrate causing accelerated rusting! This is also PapaBull's experience: http://straightrazorpalace.com/showt...erated+rusting

He feels that multicoloured celluloid is more prone to celluloid rot.

Sorry, Lynn that I had to be a spoilsport! I am not disputing the quality of the blade, you are the better judge of that!
