I'm new to SRP and rather ignorant to all things dealing with using a straight razor. In an attempt to sterilize my new razor I used a bit of bleach, which began to oxidize the blade immediately. I had no idea that it would do such damage, but rust began to form near instantaneously. After which I came back to this forum and read that bleach is absolutely NOT the way to try to sterilize a carbon steel razor PERIOD, and I do feel like such a fool for not doing my homework on the proper way to do so. I've spent the last several hours desperately trying to research the best possible way to save my razor. It seems metal polish is the immediate solution? I don't have any on hand, but will get some tomorrow. In the meantime I tried WD-40 and using aluminum foil to remove the rust. I can still see spots on my razor blade, and I want it completely removed. Please help me.
