Angelina Jolie had cell rot? Well that, explains a lot.
Well, obviously the wood itself should not be an issue. My assumption is that there was somethign used in the making of the box (a glue/adhesive) or the lining that was having a similar reaction. The red felt lining was crumbling away and the wood was getting all brittle and cracking and crumbling as well. Unlike your razor, the line of corrosion was primarily above the line of the scales suggesting that the corrosive element was coming from outside the razor and scales. In fact, I believe the scales are simply plastic. The razor doesn't appear to be old enough to be made of celluloid. Since removing the razor and distributing the others into a new box, I have had no trouble. I'm still keeping an eye on the one most affected to ensure that there is no lingering issue that may affect the other razors just to be safe. I assume that there was something haunting that box. Its been disposed of by now.
I oil then wipe my blades with a silicone felt rag that's used for guns. Does this sound ok? And do I need to be concerned about the oil being on the scales? Is there a product out there for keeping celluloid protected? Kinda freaked when I found this thread.
Silicones & gun oils are just fine my friend, rest easy. Just wipe it before you strop & shave and your face will be none the wiser...
Lol.
Thanks shooter.
