Thread: I made a newb mistaken: Carbon Dovo + Ultrasonic cleaner = Not a good idea (Photo)

Do not leave the razor closed for the next day or so, you also soaked the wood scales, so there will be moisture hiding there for quite awhile..

You might want to get some TP and a light machine oil and get some in the pivot but that might be too late unless you did it fast

Q-tips and careful cleaning around the etch with MAAS should clean it up pretty well, but in general if you look at the Gold etch crosseyed it will come off

I dried the blade as much as I could and used a blow dryer (cool setting) on the pivot pin, then applied olive oil (all I had) to the blade.

I ordered MAAS and it should be here tomorrow.

I hope you use a high grade of olive oil,the cheap stuff is very acidic

It is but what kind of oil do you recommend I use for storing the razor?

I don't notice anything in the pic. Am I missing something?

Look at LA FORME etching, there is a mark near the A and R.

OH. I thought that was camera glare or shadow. Bad news bears. Hope you can fix it!

Mineral oil from any drug store

Perfect, thank you.

EDIT: I just picked up a bottle from Kmart.

Yes a light machine oil as soon as possible to stop further oxidation.
Yes the pivot needs to be oiled as well.

Next a light abrasive like MAAS or Happich Simichrome with a Q-tip to
work around the gold.

This is not the end of the world. The ability of the razor to shave has not
been diminished.
