Thread: Razor rust help.

I left one of my razors in a ziploc bag after a vacation and I'm assuming the brush wasn't dry enough and the moisture content of the inside of the bag has caused rust to start forming on the spine of my razor. What it's the best method to remove this and prevent more from forming. When I'm done with my razors I always spray them with 91% rubbing alcohol and dry them off thoroughly before putting them away in a felt roll up razor holder. Should I start oiling my blades from now on?

Get a metal polish like Maas or Flitz and then scrub the rust with it on Q tip or pencil eraser. You have to be precise about it if you want to keep the gold leaf.

It is easier to keep a blade dry than it is to dry a blade. Avoid contact with water. You don't need anything but a dry cloth to remove lather from your blade. Oiling your blade will help, but only if your blade is completely dry when you apply it.
