    Default Naval Jelly = Razor Killer?

    I'm rather new to straight razors. I recently bought a beautiful Böker with a grenadilla handle. Being in Florida it wasnt long before I started to notice rust (I hadn't realized you needed to oil the blade). I immediately scrubbed off as much as I could with 0000 steel wool, but not all could be removed. I read a few recommendations for naval jelly so I tried it. Now my once mirror finish blade with a few rust spots is now sporting a vintage look, and not a good one at that. Is there anything I can do to save my blade from this horrid fate?
