First I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.

I received a Merkur 37C yesterday from England (delivered at my workplace). My first impression was that the chrome finish was nowhere near that of my DE89, even if the DE89 was cheaper. Anyway, as soon as I got home, I opened it to insert a blade, but noticed some defects in the chrome finish (see pictures). Do you guys think this is normal? I am just worried that this will get worse over time. There is a similar spot on the other side of the threaded piece.
