The rust can eventually eat through a razor. CLEAN IT!!!
I can understand finding the patina that has developed on a carbon steel razor attractive; I have a henckels razor that I haven't polished just because I like the "old" look it provides. But leaving rust on it? No thanks. Not me, not ever. Rust = bad.
Call me silly, but I want things that WORK. If I can have something beautiful that serves the function it was designed for, then great, I'm stoked. But, if I have something that looks great but doesn't work worth a dang, then forget it. I'd rather have an ugly hammer than can drive nails than a pretty hammer that can't.Last edited by Ben325e; 12-29-2008 at 04:24 AM.

Get rid of rust or it gets rid of your razor.
Good work on the Bengall so far. Basically, move up in grits when the previous scratches are gone. Not always easy to see but use different angles & good light. The CrO will show every scratch you missed too

Yeah I am going to go through with the rust removal,I would like to see if I can bring the Otto Deutsch blade back to usable status. I'll post some pics when I make some progress (and find some time). I'll also be ordering come Chromium Oxide in the next few days for the Bengall, and hopefully later on, the Deutsch.
