    Default Instant edge degradation

    So the other day I was in a pinch and all that was available to shave was some antibacterial handsoap. I started with a razor I honed only about a month ago and passed the HHT fine after stropping, but about 30 seconds in I noticed a lot of tugging and general discomfort. The blade had also started to patina (like you get blueing on a carbon kitchen knife). Afterwards even with stropping the blade is definitely dulled, I'm assuming due to corrosion. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

    I don't think triclosan could have anything to do with it, and the only thing acidic was phosphoric acid at the end of the ingredients list. I'm wondering if that might have been enough...
