    Default Did I ruin two eBay razors today? - Photos -

    Hi folks,

    As a newbie and in the "acquisition" phase, I bought several razors off of eBay. Well, some of them arrived in the mail today and I was going to work on polishing them up tonight. So, to disinfect them, I put some isopropyl alcohol in the bottom of a cake pan and set two of the razors in the pan to let them soak in the alcohol.

    I came back in a couple of hours and the metal part of both razors were completely brown. It looked like rust. Some of it would come off by rubbing but it looks like the alcohol totally rusted the blades. I took them out of the alcohol and rinsed them off with water but the rust was still there. After dinner, I'm going to take some Simichrome polish and see if I can get some of the rust off. If not, then it's two eBay razors ruined. Others beware. Don't soak your razors in alcohol.

    Here's some photos:
