    Ok...... What is going on with this blade? Water spots? Oxidation? Major problems down the road?

    Looks like some sort of rust remover reaction. What does sanding or polishing do?

    If it was done on purpose, this is genius.
    If it was not done on purpose, this is bad.
    Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

    Odd, the condition goes up the tang to a fixed line just before the pivot then turns to regular rust. Seems to support the idea it was dipped in something.
