I don't think I can rinse more thoroughly than I am, and it seems like several people are doing it this way...so I guess I'll just keep it up for now.

The spots don't seem to be accumulating or getting bigger, but they weren't there at all when I got the blade.

Thoughts?
I saw another discussion on this and if you're seeing black spots appearing on your blade, chances are you're storing your razor with your styptic pen\block. You need to stop doing this as that's what's causing the spots. If at all possible, seperate the two or put the alum in a ziploc bag. I hope this helps your situation.
