Some pretty things are tolerable, even desirable. Celluloid ain't one of them.

I just got my first cellrot case fixed up. It took breadknifing to clear the edge, a week* to re-establish a bevel (hey it's only my 8th honejob, yes i've seen all the vidyeas).

*felt like.

Then a dip in boiling water to center the blade, a lot of peening to tighten things up.

It gets a test-shave tomorrow, then I'll take some pics and de-scale it and make some new ones for it. I'm keeping the steel oiled all the time.

Three days ago I had no idea what cellrot was. Now i know the smell the effect and the cure. Thanks for the info.

Looks just like this one, but with less polish and corrosion yet around the hinge. American Products Co "Marked "2912" on reverse of tang" 5/8 - Straight Razor Place Wiki
