Howdy!

Well, Im not sure if this is the right forum, I assume it is. So here it gos.. Please forgive me if this is an old subject (tried to check).

Ive been around the ocean my whole life and working on boats and otherwise, and rust/corrosion is always an ever present enemy. And so with straight razors, but with the little precautions we are able to keep it at bay, atleast visually. Perhaps on a micro-level it helps to cause blades to dull quicker? I know thats the case with standard razors and so if you dry them with a hair drier, then those expensive Mach 2 Million Supa Dupa razors better than the other five you just saw on previous commercials (but THIS one vibrates!) will last longer... So I try to dry my blades well.
Anyway on boats we use "Sacrificial Zinc Anodes" at various places inside and out of the boat. I think many of you know of this, how it works, but in case not basically (very basically because it can be complex with electrical measurements and math involved) the Zinc Anodes are sacrificed for the integrity of the metal that is being protected.
So a while back I started putting zinc washers at the pivot points of my straight razors. And Ive always wondered if my perception that it has been working is all in my head... So tonight I have started a test:
Two razors. One with zinc washers attached. One without. And then I misted them and let them sit, and will continue misting everyday to test the ability of the zinc anodes... Ill be adding a couple more razors with the same set up to help with control.
Anyway, what do you think? Is this already known and been done? Are there factors of scientific method Im missing? Any ideas would be great.
Thanks,
M
