Tips for identifying "cell rot"?
I just got a batch of crusty razors in and the scales on one of them has me a little worried. The scales are made of some sort of light yellowish material that was coated in a layer of opaque tan crust that sanded off pretty easily. I didn't notice any unusual aroma when buffing the scales. The charger for my camera has run off into the bushes so unfortunately I can't post pics.
I've taken the precaution of storing this razor well away from the ones I know have celluloid handles until I can figure out what the deal is here. Any tips on what cell rot looks like and how to identify it would be a huge help!
Also, if I do run into cell rot is there any way to deal with it beyond getting rid of those scales? Is it possible to buff the rot out?
