This has been an interesting Thread,to me at least.Alot of the best resto guys have responed,as have very experianced members.Will pose a question,Your dealing with metal cancer.Picks,dental Floss,smashed Q-tips,Dremels etc.Do any of the pros think any of the above will work longterm?I don't,JMO
No,,, There comes a point when the razor needs to be popped and the metal needs to be polished to a smooth finish so that it resists rust again..
The razor pretty much decides what is needed, our job as a Restorist is to determine what each razor is telling us :p
OR
You shave with a rusty razor, I guess that is also an option :) but if you call the rust "Patina" all is good :rofl2:
From the point of view of an amateur ........ Smashed q-tips and floss are two things I've used when I cared about the rust at the pivot. If it is just rust I usually don't care. Grunge OTOH, I want outta there. Point is, depends on the mindset of the end user. Some, like me, just go so far and call it good. Others want it perfect, or close to it. IMHO.
If a Blade is worth a resto,(vast majority newbs buy are not)is a right way and a wrong way.Patina is one thing,active rust is not.
