Thread: Is this what I think it is?

That does help 71 thanks. And yeah sorry about quality of pic. Crummy cell phone pic with no macro ability. I can try my other camera if these tips don't work.

So going with your advice 71 of starting with lowest abrasive and that it may be hard water I got out the white vinager and a q tip. Well how about that it worked. I found my loupe and under magnification it looked a little scaly. Thanks again everyone for the help truly a great community. I feel I over thought this problem but I think that's mostly cause I'm new to the world of SR.

It looks like water spots to me as well.

I rinse mine with very hot water, wipe completely dry, strop 10 times on linen and leather and let completely dry in the air using it's box as a drying stand

Glad to help!

Hopefully you used water to vigorously rinse and rub off the vinegar. Otherwise you will have a worse spot tomorrow.

I did, hopefully that did not make those of you with many years of experience cringe. After I did this I thought "I hope i didn't make it worse" which brings me to a good question should that have been done at all?

It's ok, not my first choice, but it's fine as long as like Ron said a very good rinsing, I would have got my hot water going like when I,m done shaving and give a long rinse till the blade was good and hot then start the drying process. Your doing fine we have all gotten spots at one time or another, like I said before I learned this lesson on one of my custom razors, freaked me out so bad I sent it off to be cleaned! Tc
