Thread: Rust problems!!!

Currently my method for storing my razors is dry them out very well, oil them with mineral oil being very sure to get the oil in the pivot. I'm currently living in Elmont Texas which is not a particularly high humidity area but we have had a lot of rain recently! And then the razor sit on a shelf in my room!!


Thank you all for the help so far!!

The best way to keep your razors dry is to never let them get wet. Rather than dipping or rinsing your blade in water, just wipe the lather off onto a cloth or sponge.

Lather contains water... you may want to wipe twice...

Well Were The H**l Been Utopian Have,nt Had Anybody 2 Earatate In A While!! LOL,, Just Kidding, Glad Too see Ya Back!Ty

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one "Earatate"d.

Where exactly is the rust ? Is it a spot that contacts the scales ?

Are the razors new ?

Has someone touched the razors post oiling ? (Acidic skin chemistry)

I air dry my daily users for 8+ hours after use. For my long term storage razors I use "Stealth" gun oil

First avoid rooms with humidity. Do you know that you evaporate between 1 to 2 pounds of water every night?
Then : houses in Texas are often well equipped : airco prevents to dry air !!!
Avoid also the new packaging like Dovo plastic or metallic boxes, consider cardboard material. You can also have a nice wooden box filled with rice.

The rust is popping up on the spine, they are vintage razors and the oil from fingers is a good possibility!! I've been pretty tied up for the past month so if I get the chance I'll post pictures of it soon!!

Exactly. The last part of the blade to be touched when closing.
