    Default Cell Rot...

    And why it can be a waste of time to try & restore an affected razor.
    Pictures tell the story. Rust right thru the blade at the break.

    It's amazing that something in plastics can do that to carbon steel.

    And as far as most of us know the only cure for cell rot is early detection and unpin the razor and throw the infected scales away.

    The damage is more from the nitric or acetic acid that was used in making the plastic

    That is an amazing image...and scary too! One more example of why I avoid cell scales on razors and knives.

    That piece broke off in my hand just flexing the blade . Glad it didn't go on the buffs.
