    To me that is merely a cosmetic issue. I keep some 1k sand paper purchased at an auto parts store and wet it and wipe the surface rust away. The only time I worry about rust on an old blade is when it had caused pitting at the edge that may be too deep to hone through. Then unless it is a large blade it is toast.

    Some people will remove the blade from the scales and clean and polish the whole thing. That is nice if it is your preference but I just clean them in the scales with some metal polish and hone them up and shave. YMMV. Nice razor BTW !!
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
